Painter specialized in coastal and urban landscapes, although he also treated the portrait and interior scenes. He developed a painting of figurative roots, although far from a strict classicism. In this urban scene, conceived from an elevated point of view, the viewer looks out onto a network of roofs and terraces that follow one another like a living mosaic. The warm red of the tiles dialogues with the whiteness of the facades, generating a dense and vibrant visual fabric, where shapes intertwine with color in a lively and rhythmic composition.
