Salti di gioia

Sometimes I realize how fortunate we are in this modern age to have out call phones at our fingertips. Thanks to them, I can capture moments that otherwise be lost forever, like the one I captured of my happy little girl jumping through the foaming waves during a day at the beach in Monopoli, Puglia, Italy. This painting is part of a project titled "Water and children, a primordiale bond", in which I emphasizes the natural relationship children have whit nature, specially whit water, which perhaps recalls the cradle of the mother's womb.
