REVERSE OSMOSIS 2020

"REVERSE OSMOSIS" (2020) by Sergio Mario Illuminato is an abstract painting that captures the essence of a weathered wooden surface. The artist employs a minimalist approach, focusing on the texture and subtle variations in color of the wood. The keyhole at the center of the composition serves as a focal point, drawing the viewer's attention to the passage of time and the patina of age. The artwork's title suggests a process of filtration and purification, referencing the natural process of reverse osmosis. The piece is a testament to Illuminato's ability to find beauty in the everyday, showcasing the intricate details of an often-overlooked material.
