"Winter Morning" (Ref. 028) is a masterful artistic challenge (30x30 cm) born from the deliberate choice to totally exclude the color blue from the palette. Ruggero Ruggieri interprets a cloudy winter morning in the Gulf of Alassio using a sophisticated color scale of silvery grays, pearly whites, and earthy tones. The palette knife carves the material to give body to a dense, leaden sea, where light struggles through the clouds, reflecting on the water's surface with metallic glimmers. The high textured relief gives three-dimensionality to the waves and the coast, conveying a sensation of suspended quiet and biting cold. A modern, avant-garde figurative work, perfect for collectors seeking an unconventional seascape capable of furnishing with monochromatic elegance and extraordinary tactile impact.
