Description
The waterfall between two lonely trees is an original work created in watercolor, India ink, and pencil on medium-grain paper (2026, Minusio, Switzerland). The maximum external dimensions, including mat and frame, are 43 × 53 cm.
This large grayscale watercolor depicts a waterfall plunging between two bare trees perched on the sides of a cliff, with mountains shrouded in soft washes and a small flock of birds in the sky in the background. The mountains in the background, built with soft watercolor washes, create a majestic and slightly misty backdrop, while the horizon line opens to a clear sky crossed by a small flock of birds that adds movement and depth to the scene. The edge of the waterfall is highlighted by sharper pencil strokes, which accompany the downward flow of water and accentuate the verticality of the rocks, creating a rhythm of lines and drips that guides the eye along the entire height of the painting.
The calibrated use of grays and the white of the paper builds a suspended atmosphere, almost timeless, where the bare trees become figures of resistance and vigilant waiting at the edge of the void. The waterfall, enriched with touches of silver pigments, reacts to light with iridescent reflections that transform the painting depending on the viewpoint, making the water’s surface vibrate as if it were alive. The substantial size, 43 × 53 cm with frame, makes the work a centerpiece capable of dominating a wall, designed for those who love dreamlike and monochromatic landscapes and seek a contemplative image where nature, silence, and the movement of water dialogue in a discreet yet intense way.
