Il soffio della vita (The Breath of Life)
This painting is inspired by Michelangelo’s ‘Creation of Adam’ located in the Sistine Chapel and was completed in one years time. The source imagery was captured on the Ionian Sea off the coast of Salento, Italy near the artist’s family beach home. The original diptych painting measures 68″ x 102”. Depicted on the left is the sea foam as the waves hit the shore, and the bright light of the sun is featured on the right. The foam and the light take the shape of two triangles that meet in the middle as if touching for the first time, like the fingertips of God & Adam… breathing life into creation.
Water is life, it is the greatest source of creation, and none of us would be here without it. Hence the title of the piece ‘Il soffio della vita” (The Breath of Life). This piece was exhibited at the 2019 VISIONS Award Exhibit at Arcadia Contemporary Gallery in California.
Original Painting Size 68” x 102”, Completed in 2019.
