In my quest to compose a concise Italian article for Artribune about Emly Caar, I serendipitously encountered the captivating Group of Seven and their dedication to landscape painting. This exploration deepened my appreciation for landscape art and revealed my fascination with the extraordinary natural beauty of Vancouver, B.C. Inspired by this experience, I embarked on a transformative journey, giving rise to the “Returning to the Natural World” series. Using watercolors and an on-site approach, I aimed to capture the essence of British Columbia’s enchanting landscapes through abstract and expressive renditions. This creative odyssey, which began in Vancouver, unfolded through Italy and Iran, with each locale leaving an indelible mark on my work. As an ongoing project, I seek to touch the soul of every place I visit, utilizing washes and brush techniques to convey the unique spirit of each landscape, transcending realistic representation to evoke emotion and contemplation.
