Nina Pettinato, 2025 · acrylic on canvas · 180 × 120 cm

Work at a Glance
A large-format acrylic painting on canvas, created in 2025 in a vertical format, featuring a thick, sculptural application of paint and precisely contoured, merging layers.

How to Read the Painting?
Soft mauve and dusty-rose tones stack atop one another in sweeping, evenly ribbed bands – resembling cloud formations viewed from below: monumental, hovering, and possessing an almost physical presence. Delicate blue lines wind like luminous veins through the clouds, causing small flashes of yellow and white to flare up, as if light were breaking through from within. The painting feels like the interior of a cloud itself: boundless, warm, and quietly in motion – a state of being, rather than a place.

Who is this Painting for?
'Wolke' is a work of extraordinary sensual richness that transforms any space into a hovering, timeless atmosphere.
