Farewell

Nina Pettinato, 2025 · acrylic on canvas · 100 × 80 cm

Work at a Glance
A medium-format acrylic painting on canvas, created in 2025 in a vertical format, featuring freely flowing, heavily diluted colors, spontaneous splashes, and deliberately left-open areas of white.

How to Read the Painting?
Warm golden-yellow and glowing terracotta spread across the light background like a final flare-up – generously, almost floatingly, as if seeking to hold onto the moment for as long as possible. Beneath them, a cool violet and deep indigo drift in like the gathering twilight; and between the two, the untreated white of the canvas contends for space: gaps, voids, breaths – that which remains when something has departed. Red splashes provide small, intense accents, like memories that refuse to fade away.

Who is this Painting for?
'Farewell' is a work filled with grace and quiet melancholy, endowing the space with a warm, resonant depth.
