This painting marks a turning point: a key work that opened the door to abstraction. In it, form begins to dissolve, leaving space for gesture, texture and pure emotion. It is less about depiction, more about resonance.

 

Where the Flowers Grew / a Series by Sabrina Di Castello

Where the Flowers Grew emerged from a deeply personal process. The works move between abstraction and floral references, not direct depictions of flowers, but traces, fragments, and symbols.

 

I began painting these pieces as a way to express what often remains unseen: transformation, vulnerability, and strength. The floral elements stand for growth, for what can arise even when the ground is difficult. They are memories, resonances – fragments that come together in new forms.

 

The act of painting is gestural, physical, sometimes controlled, sometimes left to chance. Layers of oil paint, dense textures, and flowing transitions create spaces that are both calm and intense. For me, each work is a dialogue between dissolution and clarity, chaos and order.

 

Where the Flowers Grew is not just a title, but an attitude: it speaks of how beauty and strength often emerge precisely where things once seemed broken, uncertain, or fragile. Each painting remains open to personal resonance , a space where viewers can encounter their own memories, emotions, and stories.
