"Mother Etna"

This artwork captures the raw power and eternal mystery of Mount Etna, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Rising majestically under a twilight sky, the volcano erupts with fiery intensity, illuminating the heavens with its molten breath. In contrast, the surrounding landscape lies in somber tones, reflecting both the beauty and the danger of living in the shadow of such a force of nature.

The painting’s composition invites the viewer into a journey: from the glowing cave in the foreground—an earthly womb of fire—to the towering peak above, where smoke and lava merge with the cosmos. “Mother Etna” becomes more than a volcano; she is a living, breathing entity, both creator and destroyer, a reminder of Earth’s untamed spirit.

Through expressive brushstrokes and a palette of deep blues, fiery reds, and glowing ambers, this work portrays not only geological grandeur but also a spiritual presence—Etna as a mother figure, fierce yet nurturing, eternal yet ever-changing.
