Lake Como is one of the places where my mind becomes very quiet. The pace of the lake is slow and steady, and the light seems to settle rather than rush. I return to it in person when I can, and in memory when I can’t.

This series grows out of those visits – the way water catches the last light of the day, the way the mountains hold the horizon, the small movements of boats and people along the shore. Each painting is a different moment of calm: sometimes reflective and still, sometimes alive with colour and shifts in the weather.

Together, these works are less about a single view and more about a state of mind. Lake Como, for me, is a place where the noise drops away and I can listen more carefully, both to the landscape and to myself.
