This painting is part of the series Riflessi del tempo (Reflections of Time), to which the other work I am presenting in this competition also belongs.
A Sunday in July originates from a memory of sharing and lightness: people gathered in a summer setting, by a swimming pool, immersed in that suspension of time that belongs to holiday days. The work does not describe a place or an episode, but evokes the perception that remains of it. As happens with memories, details fade, figures lose their definition and the image turns into a fluid presence, made of sensations, light and fragments. Through distortions and chromatic vibrations the painting renders the changing nature of memory, where reality and inner experience overlap: figures surface and dissolve within the space of the painting, allowing not so much what happened to emerge, but rather the emotional atmosphere that persists. It is a reflection on time, which transforms lived images into memories, preserving their essence and letting the rest slowly dissolve.
