“Venegazzù Treviso,” a work created in 2021 although the inspiration dates back to 1978, is part of that vein in which the author embodies on canvas the intensity of physical perception of nature and the present moment.
There was always a pleasant breeze, rich with the scents of the surrounding woods, whenever I arrived in Venegazzù. The hills of Montello rose up almost as if to protect the plain that stretched out from there all the way to the Venetian Lagoon. I had to find a way to depict those determined, colorful breezes—uncommon but always in motion… It was already noon, they were calling me. I had to choose: follow my technicians for lunch “At Celeste,” next to the 18th-century villa we were restoring, or search for new paths within these wonderful woods? Almost always, the second option prevailed, convinced that these opportunities would be hard to replicate.
