Saudade, contemporary framed artwork by Lorenzo Gramaccia

Before me stood the majesty of Morro Dois Irmãos.

But my mind was drawing you.

  • Saudade macro detail: the blue water dissolves into the digital painting matter amidst warm orange shades
  • Detail of the Saudade artwork: the yellow and orange sky merges with the grainy texture of the mountain slope
  • Saudade close-up: digital painting reveals the crossed legs fading into the forest and the water below
  • Saudade macro: digital chromatic vibrations where yellows and oranges define depth and silhouettes at sunset

You were the only real thing.
