Monday Morning - 2020

A tribute to the quiet magic of a new day, Monday Morning invites you to pause, breathe, and drift. With no boats in sight, the focus lies entirely on the endless beauty of the open ocean and sky—an unbroken horizon of serenity and soft movement.

The sky is painted in a gentle powder blue, touched with wisps of white clouds and warm hints of yellow that glow softly with the promise of sunrise. A few seagulls glide gracefully above, their presence adding a sense of openness and lightness to the scene.

Below, the sea comes alive in a harmonious blend of turquoise, ultramarine, and powder blue. Rolling waves crest with delicate white peaks and sprays, their motion both mesmerizing and meditative. Layered brushwork and soft misting effects give the piece a dreamlike quality, characteristic of Filippo ioco’s distinctive style.

Monday Morning is a visual exhale—a peaceful moment to collect your thoughts, embrace stillness, and start the week with clarity and calm.
