The female figure in this painting isn’t running, she’s releasing. She steps into the water as if entering a space of transition, suspended between who she was and who she might become. The sea becomes a place of reflection, cleansing, and emotional honesty.
This work is part of “Life is beautiful without you”, a multidisciplinary art project combining painting and film. It tells the story of a painter on the Italian coast who rediscovers beauty and freedom after heartbreak. Through visual and cinematic expression, the project explores inner transformation, self-discovery, and the sea as a symbol of renewal.
This scene captures the quiet beginning of reconstruction, a moment not defined by loss, but by the emergence of a more honest relationship with oneself.
