Cling to the rock
Image information
Title : Cling to the Rock
Size : 20 x 30 cm
Medium : Soft Pastel on LuxArchival
Inspiration: Riomagiorre is one of the 5 villages that are part of Cinque Terre. The villages are suspended between sea and the rugged stretch of Italian coastline. I have vivid memories of this village from my last vacation. We stayed in a cave-like apartment with a rooftop view where I soaked in this scene from the balcony.
Reference : Based on my memories of these beautiful natural coastal formation where the land and sea meet, these rugged homes and human souls seem to clinging on to the rock for their life . I savoured the breath-taking panoramic view and its surroundings while doing a watercolour medium en plein air and taking several photographs.
Description: The Cinque Terre are the most pristine and fascinating natural part of Liguria and the Tyrrhenian coast. Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso are the villages suspended between sea and land that give life to the Cinque Terre. Clinging with all their strength onto cliffs overlooking the sea, these villages are part of a National Park and since 1997 they are a World Heritage Site protected by UNESCO, to preserve this kingdom of wild scents as nature originally intended.
