Per aspera ad astra

Story

The idea behind the work

The road to the stars becomes an image of the effort that changes our perspective: hardships do not disappear, but crossing them opens a new horizon.

The meaning in the painting

A classical column rises at the edge of a steep cliff, among dark layers of stone veined with gold. The light breaking through the clouds above shows that the hard climb leads toward an open horizon.

Craft

A finished work

Materials, frame and finish complete the identity of the work.
