Under the Adriatic Sun Some places stay with you long after you've left. For me, Puglia is one of them. This painting holds the quiet beauty I found beneath the Adriatic sun, the washed limestone villages, the faded colours, the warmth resting on ancient walls and the feeling that life somehow moves more gently there. Soft layers of white, blush and weathered grey drift across the canvas, interrupted by flashes of crimson and vibrant pink, like moments that refuse to fade from memory. Rather than painting the landscape itself, I wanted to paint what it felt like to stand within it. Part of my Puglia, with Love collection, Under the Adriatic Sun is a love letter to slow afternoons, salt air, timeless architecture and the kind of light that changes everything it touches.
