At the mercy of the wind
by Davì
Description
No wind is favorable for the sailor who does not know which port he wants to land at
Seneca
The painting wants to make us reflect on the fact that, often in life, we find ourselves having to make decisions or make choices without having the necessary information and knowledge, thus ending up “navigating in sight” simply trying to do our best.
Here then we are at the mercy of the wind, of the events that fate dictates
us to face and that we must manage to the best of our ability but without secure supports, like walking on clouds.
Sad but stimulating reality of the human race engaged in the struggle for survival and at the same time in the path of self-realization.
The painting was made in oil on classic canvas, I propose it without a frame so that you can customize it with the one that is most suitable for the environment where it will be exhibited.
It deals with a profound theme and I would like it to inspire a reflection in the viewer, I would like it to find a place not only in the home of a person who appreciates it visually but who absorbs the message it wants to convey.
As per my tradition, the work is associated with an aphorism that enhances its meaning, in this case I relied on Seneca.
It is a unique piece with a certificate of authenticity drawn up by myself.
In the case of shipping, I generally rely on the TNT courier who has always guaranteed an excellent standard of quality.
