The morning meal 

Noè Bordignon created "The Morning Meal" with oil on canvas, its dimensions measuring approximately 62 by 50 centimeters. The composition, dominated by muted earth tones, centres on a child, their gaze directed downwards, creating an intimate yet distanced encounter. Bordignon’s brushwork is loose, imbuing the scene with a sense of immediacy, a raw glimpse into a private moment. The colour palette—primarily dark browns and muted greens—evokes a somber atmosphere. The artist's use of light and shadow isn't merely representational, it serves to heighten the emotional weight of the scene, underscoring the solitude of the child. The structuralist reading of "The Morning Meal" highlights the artist's manipulation of formal elements to articulate a profound human experience. Bordignon offers us not just a portrait, but an invitation to reflect on the silent, internal worlds we all inhabit.
