Original ink painting on canvas.

Very durable technique once dry.

The work falls within the pictorial genre of paintings representing the dream world. The previous ones, dating from 2023, are: "Dreamlike Thought", "Dreamlike Thought 2", and "Lonely Blue in Moonlight".

The canvas, square in format, adopts the angular perspective with two vanishing points.

The light is that of a polar night lit by the moon; to accentuate the contrasts of shadow and light, the buildings in the background remain in shadow compared to those in the foreground.

The artist imagined a futuristic city incorporating iconic New York skyscrapers, seen in the background, and associating them with icebergs and glaciers of Antarctica.

The choice of these elements (skyscrapers and glaciers) is linked to their very functionality, transparent and brilliant, which blends perfectly with the ink technique.

About the artist Davide Rodoquino

Diploma in painting obtained from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna, Italy in 1987. Subsequent experience of outdoor painting in various locations in Italy, notably on Lake Como where the artist remained for long periods.
Here the artist improved his experience in the study of the living subject and the study of the colors and lights offered by the landscape.

In 1992 he emigrated to the United States where he began exhibiting oil paintings on canvas in galleries in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
At the same time, he began his experience in trompe-l'oeil mural painting for public and private places, undertaking activities as an independent using the acrylic technique.
In 2002 he moved to New York where he stayed for 10 years. In the Big Apple he continued to work professionally as a successful painter of trompe l'oeil and easel paintings.
This experience allowed him to improve his skills as a landscaper, and also gave him the opportunity to gain visibility and recognition within the cultural and artistic industry, since the places he decorated are visited by Hollywood actors, directors and international rock stars.

Back in Italy, he continued to paint on canvas, experimenting with various techniques including oil, acrylic, inks, soft pastels and watercolor. The most recent paintings show a little-known but highly appreciated ink on canvas technique with a good impact. In January 2024, an article on the artist's biography was published in the New York magazine "Zone NY Magazine" which deals with artistic and cultural events
of this city.
