I PRIZE Portraiture
Title: Pope John Paul II
(Oil on canvas 40x50 cm - 2006)
TEXT OF WALTER BONI:
his portraits: What cabin oil portrait of the stresses in many of his writings (an activity which accompanies the artist is in the form of a diary of inner comment the works, so that the reading of its pages can be a valuable source of further developing its research work) is that it should not be a giant of depiction, it should not represent a "second life" but rather represent ' soul and temperament of the person portrayed, his life experience condensed into a canvas, and when the shot permits, she tries to make the mobile the look, so that it can interact with the viewer. Not so much skill then, the portrait, but rather by means of penetration to capture those elements that emerge as a mysterious backdrop, a "beyond the canvas" that is accessible to the observer attentive and able to establish a long line, not temporary and superficial, with the work of art. its communication The magnetism of the faces and bodies painted, beyond the immediate evidence of meaningful expression or seductive poses, capture our attention and leads us to questions, questions that gradually lead us to a dimension unconscious, or otherwise not immediately visible, the figure represented. Some feminine curves, for example, attract us immediately for their suppleness and sensuality, but then gradually lead us to a dimension of lightness and grace in which Eros, through the aesthetic dimension, is sublimated and is expressed in a kind of scenes' essence of desire. Thus, the seduction of a nude is almost undone by his grace and gentleness, looking for and raising protection. Love is, therefore, for the artist, a state of mind, a horizon, a way of being of body and mind. His artistic : In recent execution of works, where the face is used by the artist as "Means to communicate" and remains the predominant subject of the painting, the image takes on a second reading, never predictable, full of implicit meaning. In this regard it is noted that the portrait of the Barracks is located on a side of modernity and innovation, as she searches for dynamic elements and secrets of a face in a form that is never fixed, but it has connotations of the story, of "tranche de vie "and introspection, sometimes spirituality.

TWO WORKS IN COMPARISON: The other element constituent in the representation of faces, perhaps more difficult to observe but equally important is the sense of time. The time course, of course, not as one marked by the clock, but as internal time.
Title: Venise
In works such as "Venise" and "The 'I reflected," the study of communication of the two faces, it becomes meticulous, "Venise" depicts a young girl, but in the imagination of the artist, she is "Venice itself, an "immortal soul", and interprets favoring the suggestions and feelings during a visit to the city, rather than wanting to tell the real story. It "The self reflection" however, the old woman represents the awareness of himself and reached the inner freedom that allows you to transform faults in the merits: his face wrinkled skin exposed to a beam of harsh light, leaving out a time component that weaves an intense dialogue with figuration. "Venise " shows all 'observer as "a young woman's face" by the contemporary features, in which every detail seemingly trivial case is a vital clue to the purpose of the artist, who wants to offer, in a harmonious composition, an allegorical image unattainable in its essence and rich in meaning, that transmuted the face mask in a timeless: the pale face and sensual under a veil of powder, just souped up yellow where he met his gaze absorbed the sweetness of the veil of transparent color channel supported on the head, which highlights the fleshy lips and purple children, opened in uncertain gesture of the moment, not specifically defined. For the cabin, Venice is the harmony of opposites, and describes it by saying: ... It 's the eternal maiden purely instinctively gay and joyful, but so seductive and nostalgic, which involves us in the passion of its secrets torment ....
Title: The REFLEX IO
... In "The" I "reflected" we have instead a woman's face "marked" by time, a face wrinkled skin and otherwise readable depending on the light in which we expose the fabric to the changing profile of most of the evidence or three quarters. In this time does not focus, as in "Venise", the visibility of the moment that expresses the eternal, but expands to a dimension of life becomes an experience accumulated over time, day after day, year after year, until its end: the wisdom of age which makes it precious and beautiful even more pronounced wrinkles. The optical effect of splitting also gives us a vision of two perspectives, suggesting the idea of \u200b\u200ban "I" which has come to an understanding mirror of himself, urging the viewer to search for the essence. For this road, which is a representation of human figure full of symbolic meanings implicit, seems to have started the current search for Maria Cristina Baracchi. Who saw the painting, noting his would be surprised to linger very long time on a particular face, a shadow or a light, a fog color, which she felt to be important clues the complexity of the human heart. A new and far from stereotypical and easy solutions, but for this much more modern and innovative.
