About the artwork

Silence on the Water is an atmospheric artwork that captures the tranquillity and charm of an Italian waterfront town, with a touch of Art Deco elegance. Yellow buildings with distinctive red doors are depicted in soft pastel tones, surrounded by trees and large, reflective water lilies lying like mirrors on the ground. The composition exudes a calm, almost dreamy stillness.

The flat perspective rendering and geometric shapes give the work a vintage aesthetic reminiscent of the stylish simplicity of the 1920s and 1930s. Golden circles and natural light provide subtle touches that guide the eye and add depth to the painting, despite its graphic approach. The subdued colours - such as soft yellow, old pink, grey-green and beige - enhance the sense of harmony.

This artwork combines natural elements with a stylised visual language, bringing together simplicity and beauty. The large water lilies reflect the light and architecture, bringing an almost magical moment of stillness into focus. It is as if time stands still for a moment.

Silence on the Water fits perfectly into interiors where tranquillity, aesthetics and a touch of nostalgia are desired. Ideal for those who love classic shapes in a modern setting, and for lovers of Italian ambience, vintage colours and decorative art. This work brings sophistication, warmth and balance to any space.
