Size:64 x 64 in. Antonio Sannino’s Rocky Coves, a 59" x 59" inch original painting, captures the mesmerising interplay of water and rugged shoreline. The piece shimmers with layered blues and greens, evoking the movement of crystal-clear waves against sunlit rocks. His signature technique—applying and removing oil paint on aluminium—creates a dynamic depth, making the water appear almost translucent. Born in Naples in 1959, Sannino has dedicated his life to painting, following in the footsteps of Italian masters. While his urban landscapes, particularly those of Manhattan, showcase sharp geometry, it is his depictions of water that have garnered international acclaim. His meticulous process involves photographing the perfect light, then translating it onto canvas with brushes, spatulas, and even his fingers. A final resin glaze enhances the reflective properties, making each piece uniquely luminous. Exhibiting across Europe, the USA, and Japan, Sannino’s originals are highly sought after. His work balances realism and abstraction, capturing the ever-changing beauty of natural elements. “The beauty of the landscape is enhanced by the beauty of the light. It is the light that I paint, and the beauty of the landscape unfolds”.
