For a painter like Piccinelli; the alteration of light; its variations in interaction with the atmosphere; the landscape; the fog; the rain; are an extraordinary source of inspiration.

The orange trace; heavily loaded with pure pigment; moves back and forth between light and dark; expressing a movement in the heavens. The end of the trace on the right of the composition is like a fading echo.

Piccinelli listens to the group Pink Floyd in his studio; this canvas is a tribute to "Echoes"; a song by Pink Floyd released in 1971 on the album Meddle.

“Each cloudless day guides you to my sleeping eyes

Inviting me and urging me to rise

And through this window

Come on their wings of light

A million glowing morning ambassadorsAnd no one sings me a lullaby

And nobody forces me to close my eyes

So I open the window wide

And I call you from across the sky“

Excerpt from Echoes; album Meddle; Pink Floyd; 1971.
