The impressionism of Michele La Sala
Pugliese, "the mountain of the sun" geographically known as "Gargano" gives him his first cries, San Marco in Lamis in the vast province of Foggia.
The Mountain of the Sun is a constant reference in Michele La Sala's paintings, his attachment to the territory is profound and a source of inspiration. Self-taught, he lives and works in sunny Foggia. Landscape painter despite fashions, a material and vibrant painting with fluid and colourful brushstrokes. Convinced that painting must be readable by everyone, a vision of an uncontaminated, beautiful, lush nature, rich in light and colour, almost fantastic. A touch of slight artistic madness is present in his paintings where matter, light and colour are the actors on the stage of his canvases. It's precisely this way of being a little "crazy" which moves the unconscious into a joyful feeling of everyday life.

Michele La Sala's landscapes tell of farmers at work, sleeping wheat fields caressed by the wind, trees and buildings that give refreshment to the tired farmer, centuries-old olive trees that emerge from arid and sometimes stingy soil, with the strength and vigour of nature, poppies and wildflowers in a celebration of colours.

A hymn to creation and its Creator. A simple message of humility and serenity that the author wants to communicate to those who observe his works. At the same time it wants to be a hope for the man of the third millennium where frenzy, anxiety and worries for futile objectives take over.
Michele La Sala lives and works in the splendid city of Foggia in the centre of the great Puglia region.
