This Terra Bruciata work by Orazio De Gennaro immerses the viewer in a landscape shaped by water and earth, where shades of turquoise, deep blue, and weathered gray dominate, evoking a sense of ancient, submerged terrain. The textured surface, layered with pigment and oil, mimics the look of sediment or mineral deposits, capturing the fluidity of water and the solidity of stone. This piece diverges from the fiery, earthy tones seen in other works in the series, presenting a cooler, almost aqueous landscape that suggests life beneath the surface.

This Terra Bruciata work by Orazio De Gennaro immerses the viewer in a landscape shaped by water and earth, where shades of turquoise, deep blue, and weathered gray dominate, evoking a sense of ancient, submerged terrain. The textured surface, layered with pigment and oil, mimics the look of sediment or mineral deposits, capturing the fluidity of water and the solidity of stone. This piece diverges from the fiery, earthy tones seen in other works in the series, presenting a cooler, almost aqueous landscape that suggests life beneath the surface.
he intricate layering of color and texture gives this work a depth that feels as if it were crafted by geological forces over time. De Gennaro’s choice of a cool, restrained palette imbues the piece with a quiet, meditative quality, contrasting with the rugged warmth of previous pieces. The composition feels like a fragment of a vast, underwater world—a memory of landscapes transformed by water rather than fire. This nuanced shift in color and tone enriches the Terra Bruciata series, showcasing De Gennaro’s ability to capture the diverse forces that shape the earth’s surface.
