Description
Under the sky , acrylic on canvas , cm 60 x cm 60 , Lido delle Nazioni , 2026 .
This vibrant, expressionistic acrylic painting captures a classic summer scene filled with bold energy and color contrasts.
In the foreground, a woman relaxes on a sandy beach, rendered in brilliant shades of sun-soaked orange and fiery yellow.
She is lying on her back, propped up slightly by her elbows, wearing a turquoise blue bikini that provides a cooling contrast to the intense warmth of the sand.
A dark, wide-brimmed sun hat rests on her head, and she wears sunglasses, completely immersed in the act of sunbathing.
The figure is outlined in a striking, bright neon yellow contour, making her pop dynamically against the background and emphasizing the intense glow of the midday sun radiating around her.
Dominating the left and center of the composition is a massive beach umbrella.
Painted with expressive, thick brushstrokes, it features alternating wedges of deep red, bright yellow, and pristine white.
The umbrella is tilted forward, creating a powerful focal point that frames the upper half of the canvas.
The bold black linework used to define its segments adds a graphic, almost woodcut-like quality to the artwork.
Behind this sunlit beach scene, the background transitions into a starkly contrasting sky.
Painted in deep indigo, rich navy blues, and swirling white clouds, the sky suggests an approaching summer storm or a twilight atmosphere.
This creates a fascinating tension between the peaceful, sun-drenched relaxation on the shore and the brewing, untamed nature above.
The overall artistic style uses painterly textures, heightened color saturation, and emotional brushwork reminiscent of Neo-Expressionism,
turning a simple day at the beach into a powerful visual experience.
