  • Bougainvillea

    I saw it — it was there! Alive in my friend’s photograph — a burst of magenta red, with tiny real flowers at the center of the luminous bracts.
    A few green leaves, oval, sometimes slightly pointed; woody and thorny branches, perfect for climbing the sun-warmed plaster wall.
    This image was taken on August 11, 2023, on the Greek island of Patmos by my friend Cesare Rotondo, a Milanese manager, photographer, and jazz musician of rare talent.

  • Climbing exercise

    I took this photo in Lecce during a trip to Salento in 2022. I find the contrast between the colors of the creeper that overlooks the door and the one that climbs up from below along the wall extraordinary. Unfortunately, the photo does not highlight the color well, which in real life is full and transparent. The back wall was done before starting to paint the creepers with the spatula..
