Angelo Brotto - Vase of Flowers

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

The style Brotto developed in his fruit and flower compositions demonstrates a post-Impressionist maturity. The compositions are all compressed into the foreground, without any spatial depth. The painter's aim is not to capture the sensory aspect of the flowers and fruit, but to capture their very essence, their substance. To this end, the brushstrokes, rich in texture, intervene, which, despite the essentiality of the representation, fleshes out the objects, breaking them down into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life within them.

Brotto is a painter who focuses primarily on classical and traditional genres such as landscape, portraiture, and still life, with a highly lyrical vision of phenomenal reality. Translating emotions into images through a vibrant, cursive touch inspired by Impressionism is essential to the artist.
