Dreaming in Riomaggiore

A little window into one of those moments where Italy feels like a dream you get to walk through. Standing on the street, looking up at the tall, colorful homes stacked up tall like slot canyons, I felt wrapped in this soft, sun-washed magic. Everything glowed — the weathered walls, the little balconies, the way the buildings leaned toward each other like old friends.

This painting holds that feeling for me… that sense of being suspended between reality and daydream, where time slows down and color does the talking. It’s a reminder to lift your gaze, breathe in beauty, and let yourself get lost in a place that feels both ancient and completely alive.
