La Vita è Bella

A kiss, a bike, a world turned bright—
Love shields a child from darkest night.
Joy paints the sorrow none should see,
And hope endures through tragedy.

This mixed media on paper captures the tender poignancy of film poster illustration.
The composition blends realism with a touch of theatrical whimsy to reflect emotional depth.
Controlled washes, precise linework, and pastel accents convey warmth and narrative strength.
A masterful homage to cinematic beauty using expressive, illustrative techniques.
