Dimensions: 69x59x1,5 cm Technique: mixed media Support: raw canvas Year of creation: 2026
AB#347 TDA Tramonto di Agosto I is a mixed media artwork painted on raw canvas made from recycled coffee sacks, measuring 69 × 59 × 1.5 cm. The work captures a rose-toned sunset shifting into violet and deep blue, evoking the first part of an August evening when heat still lingers and the season remains fully alive. The surface is defined by horizontal striations inspired by Gerhard Richter’s squeegee technique, where layers of color are dragged and blended to create soft transitions and atmospheric depth. These gestures dissolve the boundary between sky and time, transforming the sunset into a continuous flow rather than a fixed moment. The work reflects the idea that sunset is not an ending, but a passage: a natural continuation of the day, just as night seamlessly carries life forward into the following morning.
