About this artwork
This oil on canvas marks a technical and philosophical threshold in my practice. Built through a layered atmospheric perspective, it employs glazes on bone-dry surfaces to establish depth through restraint rather than dramatic colour.
Painted from direct observation in my Montreal studio, the landscape emerged through subtraction. A limited palette allows space to breathe, while calligraphic branches cross the composition as single, decisive strokes… set against a horizon that refuses solidity.
As I enter my seventh decade, my work has moved into a phase of Ipseity, where felt experience takes precedence over representation. I was drawn to the heavy silence of a daybreak—the weight of a fallen trunk held against mist and water that dissolve more than define. A faint yellow glow is anchored just above the shoreline, sensed rather than seen.
Emptiness functions as a compositional principle. The mist softens memory into presence, inviting stillness and sustained attention.

Though I am creating art, I am evoking an emotion.
This has guided fifteen years of practice. Bob's work prioritises the felt experience over representation, capturing atmospheric depth that moves between tranquillity, longing, and awe. You do not simply look at these paintings. You enter them.
Working with a knife, his self-taught mastery of Impasto produces surfaces that are sculpturesque, tactile, and alive. Expansive paintings and intimate miniatures share the same driving force, a sense of place that is as much interior as it is geographical. Landscapes and seascapes become the language. Emotion is what they say.
In his seventh decade, Venafro has arrived at Ipseity, absolute selfhood, hard-earned and uncompromising. Drawing from a life in finance before the knife became his primary language, he brings something rare to the canvas. The story he is painting is his emotion. And yours, to discover. I'm discontinuing my signature on the front of the work. www.venafrobob.com
