In a silent embrace, the sea holds her, washing away the traces of the past. Her skin still carries the warmth of a love that has faded, yet the waves call her forward. Her gaze, suspended between memory and release, seems to ask: “What comes next?” The shore remains behind her, like an old photograph, blurred by time. The deep blues and fluid movement of the water contrast with the warmth of her body and the fabric draped around her—one last remnant of the past. The sea does not take, it transforms.
About the project
“Life is beautiful without you” is a multidisciplinary art project combining painting and film, telling the story of a painter on the Italian coast who finds beauty and freedom after heartbreak. Through visual and cinematic expression, the project explores transformation, self-discovery, and the sea as a symbol of renewal.
