Aldo Contina - Houses in the Background

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Aldo Contina stands out for his landscape painting, which seeks distinctive views, imbued with a unique lyricism. Hence his penchant for picturesque views and evocative framing. Formally, this translates into a highly animated and dynamic style that ensures freshness and immediacy of execution. His brushstrokes are therefore characterized by a remarkably cursive touch, made up of sudden flickers that effectively capture the vibrations of light on objects. This is particularly evident in the rendering of the buildings and the reflections on the water. The entire composition is imbued with a calm realism and a freshness deriving from the artist's technical prowess.

Aldo Contina is a painter who focuses primarily on landscapes, with a highly lyrical vision of phenomenal reality. Translating emotions into images through a vibrant, cursive style inspired by impressionism is essential to the artist.
