Armiamo il gozzo

"Armiamo il gozzo" (Ref. 126) captures the essence of Alassio's maritime life in a moment of industrious quiet. Set on the harbor beach, the painting portrays two fishermen preparing a traditional Ligurian boat for departure at dawn. The palette knife oil application accentuates the texture of the "rough" beach and the sturdiness of the gozzo, creating a vibrant contrast with the silhouette of Gallinara Island emerging on the horizon. The morning light is rendered through chromatic layering that gives depth and body to the scene. A work with a strong narrative flavor, perfect for those seeking art that tells of traditions and the deep bond between man and the sea through a modern, textured technique pulsing with energy.
