Umbrella
The image respects all the canons of minimalism:
the Sea shaded by long time and transformed into a mirror of the sky;
The simple, clean and tidy composition:
The mild and relaxing atmosphere.
The figure of passage, however, breaks the symmetry and the boredom of the conventions, adding a welcome element of interest, color and movement.
The umbrella is the natural focal point of the scene: although small in the scene, it has strength and weight thanks to the color.
In the cold and blue Palette, the double red spot of the umbrella and its reflection immediately catches the eye.
Thanks to the umbrella, the man who walks becomes the protagonist and the fact that he is about to leave the scene acquires much more meaning.
The figure that moves appears suspended between sky and clouds, with a surreal and poetic impact, and leaves us free to fill it with meanings
