About "Taormina"

I created Taormina at the height of my interest in textured artwork in the late summer of 2024. I was inspired by the clean, colorful vibrance of the Mediterranean coast.

This commanding abstract work offers a vivid interplay of raw texture, layered pigment, and tonal contrast, evoking a sense of transformation and permanence in equal measure. Rich ochres, burnished golds, and deep cobalts echo the patina of time-worn surfaces—suggesting weathered architecture, shifting landscapes, or industrial remnants eroded into beauty. It’s a composition that doesn’t demand interpretation but rewards sustained observation, revealing nuance and depth over time. This piece speaks with quiet authority and lends gravitas to any environment, making it a powerful addition to a curated corporate or institutional collection.

Beyond aesthetic impact, the painting carries significant investment potential. The scale, texture, and tonal complexity make it an anchor piece — something that elevates a collection, enhances a space, and appreciates over time. As part of a growing body of work from an artist committed to craft, surface, and resonance, this piece is well-positioned for long-term value appreciation and offers a distinct statement of taste, stability, and cultural engagement for collectors seeking to build legacy through art.
