What a delicate and insinuating work. The delicacy of textures and colors contrasts with the strength of the shadows - — Andre Longarco
October whisper idea and development:
- This aquarium is an evolution of my style in search of an original NA. The background is the birth of my daughter Daniela in October.
- The aquarium recreates the warm colors of autumn, in a dynamic atmosphere. Artistically, a style based on sectors and lines sought a striking visual effect, full of contrasts between green, red and orange. Next to a powerful play of light and shadow.
- It is an aquarium with much less structure than in previous years, whose objective is that the general vision attracts the attention of the viewer and creates sensations.
- Fauna: I ask you a question: Why is a perfect school necessary with emperors (they never swim as an school)? Don't you think emperors have a natural disposition among the shadows?

Comments
The foreground would be perfect if it weren't for this very artificial mossy trunk. It does not match the rest of the work. Speaking of moss the moss work can be improved on other occasions just by taking a closer look at Nature. It's too perfect. The Wabi Sabi concept is necessary for understanding nature. The right side reflexes are almost perfect but the left side could have been more worked out. Just one more detail the red "carpet" in the center of the aquarium may have caught too much our attention.
But it is a work that delights me and makes me believe that the human still being knows how to contemplate nature with his soul.
