Untitled (Riflessi - Reflections) by Ruggero Gamberini, Image 1.
A brooding meditation in green and midnight blue, "Riflessi" unfolds like a landscape glimpsed through water. Broad, assertive brushstrokes sweep diagonally across the surface, interrupted by sharply cut planes of collage that fracture the pictorial field. A pale vertical passage - almost a shaft of light - cleaves the composition, suggesting reflection not as mirror-image but as disruption: a shimmer, a tremor, a moment of visual doubt. The torn edge on the right introduces a raw, tactile tension, reminding us that reflection is never seamless. Here, surface becomes depth, and depth becomes something quietly unstable.
