Chasing the Next Day

This artwork depicts Porto Garibaldi, Italy, based on a personal photograph taken in 2013. The boat leaving the harbour belongs to my father, for whom the painting was originally created as a gift.

After a difficult period, I wanted to turn this boat into a symbol of courage and movement: leaving the harbour, moving forward and looking towards what comes next. Having lived abroad for almost twenty years, painting Porto Garibaldi also allowed me to rediscover my hometown through a different, more sensitive and nostalgic perspective.

Chasing the Next Day is the first painting I ever made. It marks an important stage in my journey and the beginning of a more regular, personal and intuitive artistic practice.

The original belongs to my father and is not available for sale. The artwork is, however, available as a selection of editions and made-to-order printed products.
