While meandering the streets of Assisi, we stumbled upon an art gallery that had these amazing paintings. They captured, in rich hues, the Umbrian landscapes we had come to love. Upon closer inspection, we found they were painted on glass. The vibrant colors intensified with the sunshine streaming through the shop windows. Beautiful.
Massimo Cruciani was born in 1946 in Rome of an Umbrian father and it is in Umbria that his restless wanderings will conclude many years later. After an intensive apprenticeship in the studio of the painter G. Adami, he has moved from oils to acrylics to watercolors and then to painting on glass.
The misty-toned colors, the indefinite forms, the transparency of the medium, which permits continuous variations of light and shadows: this is the magic which succeeds in casting a spell on "the ever-present restless searching.
