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

Piccinelli produced this work on paper using collage and acrylic paint. the white paper areas were obtained by tearing the paper but also by tearing it off after gluing.

These white surfaces evoke the foam that forms with the movement of the waves.Torn; scratched; pierced; the paper is; significantly from the end of the 1950s; the object of numerous interventions by artists. If the torn papers of Hans Arp can be considered as precursors; it is remarkable to observe how the artists of the second half of the twentieth century made the mistreatment of the support the anchor point of a relationship with the medium.
