The end of an era - watercolors on paper

Hello everyone, dear Hivers friends, and welcome back to my blog. Today, I finally return to the theme that is most dear to me: the seascape seen in a surreal light. I am sharing my latest watercolor painting, which is part of a series that I will be exhibiting in my next solo painting exhibition. The theme of the exhibition will be the sea and climate change on the planet.

Today's subject is an apocalyptic scenario depicting huge, overwhelming floods, in which I have depicted boats and buildings in the distance.

On the left, I have painted the ancient remains of vanished civilizations, symbolizing the transience of a life that deserves more importance.

I hope you like my painting. I leave you with all the steps of the creative process and a virtual hug for an increasingly dark future.
Armando.

La fine di un epoca - acquarelli su carta

Ciao a tutti cari amici Hivers e bentornati sul mio blog. Oggi finalmente torno al tema che mi è più caro, il paesaggio marino visto in chiave surreale. Condivido il mio ultimo dipinto ad acquarello che fa parte di una serie che esporrò nella mia prossima personale di pittura. Il tema della mostra sarà il mare e i cambiamenti climatici del pianeta. Il soggetto di oggi che vi propongo è uno scenario apocalittico che rappresenta delle grandi inondazioni travolgenti dentro le quali ho raffigurato imbarcazioni e in lontananza dei palazzi. Sulla sinistra ho dipinto degli antichi resti di civiltà scomparse, il simbolo della caducità di una vita che meriterebbe più importanza.
Spero che il mio dipinto vi piaccia, vi lascio tutti gli steps del processo creativo ed un abbraccio virtuale per un futuro sempre più oscuro.
Armando.}
