An ode to unscripted adventure in the streets of Florence
A Passage of Color captures two women mid-adventure, ascending a steep, unexpected staircase tucked between layers of Tuscan color and life. It’s a familiar Florence moment - where you trade the map for instinct and find yourself surrounded by history, charm, and everyday beauty. With polychromatic textures and layered architectural forms, Kyle Lucks transforms an ordinary stairway into a story of discovery. The artwork reflects the spirit of travel, spontaneity, and the thrill of letting curiosity lead the way in one of Italy’s most enchanting cities.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind A Passage of Color
In A Passage of Color, artist Kyle Lucks captures a fleeting, unforgettable moment in the heart of Florence, Italy, - one of the world’s most beloved and visually iconic cities. Part of his Tuscany, Italy series, this vibrant piece transforms a quiet architectural scene into a compelling story of spontaneity and exploration. Two women climb an unfamiliar staircase, surrounded by stacked balconies, weathered walls, and sun-drenched textures. What begins as a simple walk becomes a colorful detour worth remembering.
Florence is known for its Renaissance roots, artistic legacy, and charming alleyways. But A Passage of Color focuses on the quieter side of adventure. It celebrates the feeling of tucking away your map and letting the city guide you instead. The narrow stairwell, draped in color and light, invites the viewer to imagine where it leads. Details like polka dots, painterly brushwork, and layered tones create movement and emotion within the frame, turning an ordinary corner into something cinematic.
This painting is a tribute to the joy of discovery and the magic of places we don’t plan to find. Whether as an original or a print, A Passage of Color offers nostalgia, warmth, and a glimpse into the vibrant life tucked inside Florence’s hidden streets.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
