"IMAGO (VENICE LAGOON)" is a 2019 abstract painting by Italian artist Sergio Mario Illuminato. The piece, measuring 70 x 100 cm, features a predominantly blue canvas with several white holes scattered across its surface. This minimalist composition evokes a sense of emptiness and absence, perhaps reflecting on the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of memory. The title suggests a connection to the Venice Lagoon, a location known for its beauty and historical significance. The holes could represent the erosion of time, leaving behind fragmented traces of a once vibrant past.
