“Waterlilies II” (completed December 2022) by Carlo Marcucci

This newly completed acrylic and digital ink on canvas painting in now available for sale. The work measures 80” x 90” and is stretched over aluminum bars. Inspired by Monet’s “Water lilies” series, this modern version features abstract ovals representing the large water lillies (known as Victorian Amazonica) floating on dark waters. This abstract representation is the second of a series of works created during the Covid pandemic and the chaos of wars and political turmoil that followed soon after. Created to generate a sense of calm, these gigantic floating pads represent a comforting - if temporary - stability when no solid ground can be found.
