Vincenzo Cardarelli | I gabbiani / Seagulls

Non so dove i gabbiani abbiano il nido,
ove trovino pace.
Io son come loro
in perpetuo volo.
La vita la sfioro
com'essi l'acqua ad acciuffare il cibo.

Daniel Del Orfano | Romantic umbrella

" - I aspire to blend old fashion artistic integrity with modern perception.
My paintings depict life, not as it may be, but more as it is remembered- a snapshot, not of a particular moment, but of an overall memory.
It is the beauty of the emotion felt at an exacting time that I attempt to portray.
Trying to capture the romantic yet realistic view one has of everyday life is at the root of all my work".
