Distant Sails - 2020

Distant Sails captures the quiet beauty of a summer sea just after sunrise, where everything feels hushed, luminous, and full of possibility. A gentle row of seven white sailboats, slightly staggered and softly faded, drifts peacefully across pastel waters—each vessel like a whisper on the wind.

The sky above is brushed in delicate, linear strokes of soft blues and whites, creating a subtle motion that mirrors the calm of early morning light. A flock of seagulls glides gracefully through the air, adding a hint of movement and life to the stillness.

Beneath them, the ocean glows with dreamy tones of light turquoise, aqua, and powder blue. White foam-like waves roll gently through the scene, their textures rendered in soft, flowing layers that reflect Filippo ioco’s signature misty and tranquil style.

Distant Sails is a visual breath—a gentle escape into the quiet poetry of summer mornings on the open sea.
