« There she blows!-there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Moby Dick! »
Since I was a child, I looked at the sea with amazement and admiration, imagining all its contents and the stories connected to it.
Then at 15 I read "Moby Dick" the famous Melville novel and reading the book gave me a strong impulse and a creative drive in the inner search for a world made of ships, sea monsters and men.
I re-read the famous novel at 53, a symbol of man's struggle against nature, and the emblem of all the attempts made by mankind to overwhelm and dominate the planet Earth with all its living beings.
The final inspiration for the realization of this watercolor was given to me by the eponymous film "the hearth of sea", a film adaptation of the novel "In the Heart of the Ocean" - The true story of the Essex whaling boat (In the Heart of the Sea: The tragedy of the whaleship Essex), written by Nathaniel Philbrick in 2000 about the history of the Essex whaling, this event inspired Herman Melville to write his famous Moby Dick.
« Laggiù soffia! Laggiù soffia! La gobba come una montagna di neve! È Moby Dick! »
Fin da quando ero bambino ho guardato con stupore e ammirazione il mare, immaginando tutto il suo contenuto e le storie collegate ad esso.
Poi a 15 anni ho letto "Moby Dick" il famoso romanzo di Melville e la lettura del libro mi ha dato un forte impulso e una spinta creativa nella ricerca interiore di un mondo fatto di navi, mostri marini e uomini.
Ho riletto a 53 anni il celebre romanzo, simbolo della lotta dell'uomo contro la natura, ed emblema di tutti i tentativi compiuti dal genere umano per sopraffare e dominare il pianeta Terra con tutti i suoi esseri viventi.
Lo spunto finale alla realizzazione di quest'acquarello mi è stato dato dal film omonimo "the hearth of sea", adattamento cinematografico del romanzo "Nel cuore dell'oceano" - La vera storia della baleniera Essex (In the Heart of the Sea: The tragedy of the whaleship Essex), scritto da Nathaniel Philbrick nel 2000 sulla storia della baleniera Essex, tale evento ha ispirato Herman Melville alla scrittura del suo celebre Moby Dick.

Mi fa piacere poter osservare un autore che condivide con me le stesse passioni: vele ed onde salmastre per me sono grande fonte di ispirazione.
Per me il cuore dell'oceano è in fondo al mare, che cerco ogni volta di raggiungere nelle mie immersioni in apnea; quasi come una ricerca del profondo.
