Giacomo Picca

The intention of this project is to raise the meaning (in my journey) of today’s notions of romanticism and the spiritual, how it is conveyed through the genre of landscape. I am appropriating the 19th century compositions. I am reediting the images using the computer. I am reducing the image to the basic notion of what make a landscape. I am choosing the colours for the elements of nature with the help of a software and I finally compare the chosen colour with another colour system, the colour charts given in DIY shops. The support for each image is particularly chosen in the timber yard. What a story…!!! I also alter the size to 105 x 150 cm, the usual manufactured size of my paintings.
