This piece draws inspiration from the wildflower meadows that stretch across northern Italy, where the edges of Tuscany begin to rise toward the Dolomites. In these transitional landscapes, cultivated land gradually gives way to something looser and more expressive - fields where poppies, grasses, and native blooms spill together in vibrant, unstructured colour.
 
There is a quiet tension in these places, where order dissolves into abundance, and the landscape feels both held and untamed at once. It is this shifting boundary - between the cultivated and the wild - that sits at the heart of the work.
 
Rather than depicting a single, defined location, the painting captures the feeling of those foothills in late summer: warm air carrying the scent of dry grass, softened light settling over the land, and the subtle, constant movement of flowers growing freely across uneven terrain.
 
Marks are layered and instinctive, allowing colour to lead and form to emerge and dissolve in equal measure. It is a landscape not of precision, but of my memory, and
the work invites a slower way of looking, where details reveal themselves gradually, and the eye is free to wander without a fixed point of focus.
