Description of the work
Description of the work
Flowers as an independent subject 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 were depicted 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 became a way of interpreting reality.
For painter Antonio Di Michele, naturalistic rendering is a fundamental component of his artistic practice. This is evident in the compositional concept of this work, expressed in an airy view stretching into the distance. In the foreground are the main protagonists, the sunflowers, harmoniously blending with the rest of the space. Formally, in this work, Di Michele remains essentially figurative. However, his touch is extremely painterly, intent on capturing every vibration of light and ensuring a fresh execution.
Antonio Di Michele was born in Casilenti in 1953, but lives in Borgo Bussana Vecchia, Sanremo. He is a fundamentally impressionist painter who has received several awards throughout his career (the Leone d'Oro Award at the Sanremo Casino, the European International Prize, and the International Trophy in Limone Piemonte). His works are held in various collections in Italy and abroad.
