At the age of 50, Lorenzo Ciufici has dared to take a new path by devoting himself to painting. An unobtrusive observer, he focuses his gaze on the details of nature, inviting us to explore his imagination. His canvases reveal streaks of rock, agate cuts, fossilized wood and the marks of time. Inspired by his surroundings in Provence and beyond, Lorenzo reveals the beauty of our natural riches through ochre and multicolored tones. His singular technique blends movement and bursts of color, reproducing the places he visits in a metamorphosed way.
