Oil on canvas depicting an emblematic view of the town, in which the artist conveys the dark, mysterious depth of the water revealed after the morning mist has lifted, contrasting with the sunlit glow on the ramparts. The scene was captured in a matter of moments, seized quickly before it vanished, then fixed on the canvas in the studio to reveal the full magic of a sunny day just beginning.

This work reflects the artist’s commitment to observing the living landscape and translating its fleeting transformations — the shifting light, the subtle atmosphere, the quiet emergence of colour — into a contemporary figurative language rooted in sensitivity and immediacy.
