Andrea Caruso - Green Eyes

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to convey their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation. The artist Andrea Caruso has focused his pictorial research on objective and hyperrealist portraiture.

Andrea Caruso's style is based primarily on a solid drawing structure. Through a highly defined line, the painter first creates the framework of the work, in which the volumes and plastic qualities of the subject are enhanced through a clear linear system. Thus, the facial features of the portrayed person acquire a hyperrealistic quality, which is reproduced with extreme fidelity. The marked plasticity in Andrea Caruso's portraits is further enhanced by the light that bathes the figure and is confirmed by the very compact application of color, which avoids overly painterly effects.

Andrea Caruso was born in Augusta in 1982. He was drawn to art as a child, creating sculptures in rice, stone, and wood. Upon reaching adulthood, he moved to Rome in search of new experiences. In 2004, he returned to his native Sicily, where he spent seven difficult years. In 2012, he moved in with his maternal aunt, who still hosts him today, where he unleashed his creativity, playfully creating his first works. Andrea Caruso quickly became an established painter specializing in portraiture.
