Description
The Four Plane Trees – First Buds is an original work created in watercolor, ink, and pencil on semi-rough paper (2026, Minusio, Switzerland). The maximum external dimensions, including the mat and without a frame, are 30 × 40 cm.
The work captures a moment of delicate transition, as nature discreetly awakens. In a monochromatic vision, the four historic plane trees of the Locarno Debarcadero emerge at the center of the composition, solid and silent witnesses to the passing seasons. The crowns are just beginning to fill with light leaves, hinted at with minimal touches that evoke the arrival of spring in a subtle and measured way.
Long dark shadows stretch toward the observer, creating depth and a strong visual direction. In the background, Lake Maggiore and the mountain profiles dissolve into soft glazes, while a flock of birds crosses the sky, introducing movement into the stillness of the scene.
A contemplative work dedicated to waiting and the imperceptible changes of nature, where even the smallest bud becomes a sign of renewal. Work sold with a mat, without a frame; ready to be framed.
