This piece was painted on location in Genova during a quiet afternoon that felt almost timeless. While walking through the area, I came across a garden corner full of character. The way the plants framed the old building, the soft light, the roses, and the subtle colors all came together in a way that made me want to capture it right then and there.
I worked quickly, using oil on a small canvas, keeping the brushwork loose and expressive. It was all about preserving the feeling of the moment—the warmth, the quiet, and the way nature and architecture seemed to coexist so effortlessly. The title came to me later, as I thought about how places like this hold onto memories—not loudly, but gently, like echoes.
It’s a small piece, but one that holds a lot of what I love about painting outdoors: the immediacy, the light, and the quiet connection to a place.
