Stromboli, the volcano, is on the island of Stromboli, one of the Aeolian islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea, a volcanic arc off the north coast of Sicily. It is one of the four active volcanoes in Italy.
The island of Stromboli has an area of 12.6 square kilometres (4.9 square miles) and is inhabited with a population of around 500 in 2016. The volcano is active and there are constant minor eruptions, often visible from many points on the island and from the surrounding sea. The island is nicknamed the “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean”.
I am a British contemporary fine artist creating powerful acrylic paintings inspired by the interaction of light, colour, and perspective in natural and urban landscapes. I am fascinated by nature enjoying woodland, fell and moorland walking which provide a wealth of inspiration for my painting. For me having the time to stop, look and fully appreciate all the wonders of nature –the wildlife, trees and flowers and the interaction of colours and light – is a remarkable gift. I regularly visit family in Italy and Australia both beautiful countries full of artistic inspiration – some of the most spectacular sunsets, landscapes, and seascapes you will see anywhere in the world. My primary medium is acrylics, and I am a member of the Altrincham Society of Artists and the Visual Artists Association. I sign my artwork Iannello, my mother’s maiden name in her memory.
