“Rising” showcases the untamed beauty of North Florida’s Big Bend region. Set along the serene Forgotten Coast, this evocative work depicts three graceful herons in different stages of flight against a spectacular twilight sky. Golden-orange hues illuminate the horizon while stormy blue clouds create dramatic contrast above. The coastal wetlands below reflect the warm glow, creating a perfect stage for these elegant birds. Gioia’s intimate knowledge of this pristine ecosystem is evident in every brushstroke, preserving a fleeting moment when day surrenders to night and wildlife moves with instinctive purpose across the undisturbed marshlands.
