Maestrale

"Maestrale" (Ref. 054) is a work of extraordinary evocative power (40x50 cm) capturing the wildest soul of winter in Alassio. Ruggero Ruggieri paints the moment when the strong Mistral wind, diverted by the massive profile of Capo Mele, strikes the coast, kicking up clouds of sea spray and rippling the sea into a series of energy-laden waves. The palette knife carves the material to render the solidity of the coastal rock, contrasting it with the ephemeral dynamism of the white foam shining under a cold, crisp light. The palette, dominated by metallic blues, pearl grays, and pure whites, reflects the clear atmosphere of stormy days on the Riviera. A modern figurative painting with a sculptural impact, perfect for those seeking a work that transmits the primordial force of the marine elements and the unique character of the Ligurian landscape.
