Midday Sails - 2020

A radiant companion to Midnight Sails, Midday Sails captures the peaceful beauty of sailing under the sun. Two white sailboats drift effortlessly beneath a soft pale blue sky, where delicate clouds stretch across the horizon like gentle whispers of wind.

The sea below sparkles in vibrant turquoise, accented with hints of ultramarine blue that add depth and clarity to the water’s surface. A golden sandbar, painted in shimmering metallics, anchors both the foreground and background—infusing the scene with warmth and timeless elegance.

Filippo ioco’s signature misty brushwork brings a dreamlike softness to the piece, while subtle layering reflects light in all the right places. Midday Sails offers a moment of calm and clarity, transporting the viewer to a sunlit escape where the breeze is gentle and time drifts slowly by.
