Randa e Fiocco

"Randa e Fiocco" (Ref. 055) is a work of great compositional vigor (40x30 cm) that captures the perfect dynamics of a sailboat in full navigation. Ruggero Ruggieri uses the palette knife to define with extreme precision the setting of the sails — mainsail and jib — as they swell under the push of the wind. The canvas is distinguished by an extraordinary textured relief: the deep blue sea is furrowed by a boiling white wake of foam, rendered with heavy palette knife strokes that seem to force the water beyond the frame's boundaries. The light hits the sails, creating a play of shadows and reflections that gives three-dimensionality and realism to the movement. A modern figurative work testifying to the artist's technical maturity, ideal for those seeking a piece that communicates the pure energy of sailing.
