Title: Landing in Color
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 60x80cm
Context: Final assignment Milan Art Institute (part 1)
In Landing in Color, movement comes to rest, and fragile beauty is captured in full color. The butterfly — symbol of transformation — lands on a blossoming flower. The moment is quiet, but charged with meaning: as if life itself is taking a breather.
The work is painted entirely in oil paint and marks the end of a learning process, but also the beginning of a personal voice. The choice of powerful colours, soft textures and symbolism is deliberate: it is a celebration of growth, of becoming, of daring to blossom.
An invitation to pause and consider what is soft — and to recognize the power within it.
