Oil Painter Adriano Farinella is known for his landscapes and figurative paintings. His landscape work is centered on the art of memory. Rather than capturing a specific time of day, at a specific place, the focus turns inward toward the remembered feeling of a time. And with that the paintings represent more metaphysics than physics.

The sky is the primary focus of the work and the clouds are treated as portraits more than landscapes. The clouds become figures who have been painted at a time in their lives and who, like human figures, are born, live for a while, change frequently, and then leave.They are at once, the beginning of things and the end of things.
