Farm at the sunset is one of my favourite topics because of: backlight effect and the subject.
The pastoral countryside perfectly blends human things with the surrounding environment. The suggestion of this kind of landscape comes from the perfect balance between human and nature.
I’m always stunned by the beauty of a house inside this environment, rather an isolated house or a building merged into the urban jungle doesn’t appleal the same way to me.
La ferme
La ferme au coucher du soleil est l'un de mes sujets préférés à cause de: l'effet de contre-jour et le sujet. La campagne pastorale mélange parfaitement les choses humaines avec l'environnant. La suggestion de ce type de paysage vient de l'équilibre parfait entre l'homme et la nature.
Je suis toujours stupéfait par la beauté d'une maison à l'intérieur de cet environnement, plutôt une maison isolée ou un bâtiment fusionné dans la jungle urbaine ne me plaît pas de la même manière.

Emmanuele is an Italy-based independent artist, mostly self-taught. Visual Arts have always been his main interest, including photography, drawing, illustration and, ultimately, watercolor painting.
A life abroad
Despite his artistic inclinations he took a degree in Aerospace Engineering and worked abroad for nine years. During all this time he continued spasmodically drawing at night and on weekends.
He attended evening drawing classes while working in Madrid and then basic of oil painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Como while living in Switzerland. He eventually discovered Watercolor painting in Lugano by chance, attending a course held by Department of Culture of the Canton Ticino. He have painted for a year at night, whatching DVDs and YouTube videos, at home.
The Watercolor
“I started thinking about watercolor because of logistical problems: at home we had that time a 3-year-old child and I couldn’t leave my paintings around. Watercolor is quick, it does not smell, it dries in few minutes and the equipment is lightweight and essential, the perfect solution for a family living in a flat. When I started using it I fell in love with it immediately!”
“Why do I love him so much? Well many reasons… The incredible technical challenge, the continuous struggle in controlling the water and for the spontaneity of execution.”
In 2014 he decides to quit his job to devote himself to full-time art and begins to participate in exhibitions in Italy, France and Spain. He keeps on attending watercolor courses with the greatest masters: Chien Chug Wei in Aosta 2015, Joseph Zbukvic in Milan 2016.
Despite this initial success, due to the divorce, he interrupted his artistic activity for three years, until 2019 when, during a trip to France, he met open and friendly people who believed in him, so that he found the motivation to come back painting and bet on his lifetime dream: Art as independent job.
Live and online classes
He teaches watercolour technique in his own Art Studio located in Lecco. He's available for personal and group classes. He also publish Video and Tutorial on Youtube.
"My little life, my little personal journey, made of ups and downs, of difficulties (which mostly I avoid telling!) as well as few but immensely fulfilling artistic achievements, are just an example on how you can follow your inspirations too."
