With Sunrise over Sant’Angelo, Paolo May interprets one of the most iconic villages of Ischia. Once a small fishing settlement, Sant’Angelo is now a symbol of the island, admired for its unique atmosphere. This 3D artwork is created using mixed media on wood – clay, glazes and colors – bringing to life the soft tones of dawn and the rocky profile overlooking the bay.
Colors in images may appear slightly different or more saturated depending on the device used.
Sant’Angelo is an ancient fishing village that has become one of Ischia’s most iconic destinations. Its pedestrian alleys, small harbor and seaside square create a unique and intimate Mediterranean atmosphere.
At sunrise, warm golden light wraps around the rocky promontory, offering a view that remains unforgettable for those who visit the island.
In this piece, Paolo May captures the magic of the first light over Sant’Angelo. Through mixed media on wood – clay, glazes and colors – the artist gives depth to the sea and sculptural relief to the rocks.
This work goes beyond a simple landscape: it is a tribute to the beauty of Ischia and to the ability of nature to transform into visual poetry. May captures the connection between landscape and identity, bringing new life to a place that embodies the soul of the island.
