Lillo Messina, born in 1941, *Flight of Birds*, oil on canvas, signed and dated *71*, countersigned on the back.
50 x 70 cm unframed
Bears a gallery stamp in ink on the back. Galleria Schreiber in Brescia, where the artist exhibited in the 1970s.
In 1961, he moved to Rome to enroll in the Academy of Fine Arts under the guidance of masters such as Pippo Rizzo and Mino Maccari.
Beginning in the 1980s, his painting evolved into an almost exclusively hyperrealist style, focused in an obsessive and poetic way on maritime themes. His compositions blend the abstraction of chromatic forms, Mediterranean myths, and maritime memory.
