Natalino Arfelli - Tropical Fish

Artist Natalino Arfelli stands out for his paintings, which feature highly distinctive and sophisticated subjects. This painting features one of his most recurring themes: the aquatic landscape. The aquatic landscape is an unusual subject in the history of art. The earliest examples can be found in Roman mosaics.

In his paintings featuring aquatic landscapes or marine-inspired compositions, Natalino Arfelli demonstrates masterful technique, interpreting marine flora and fauna in a lively and vitalistic manner. Indeed, the painter isn't so interested in a realistic interpretation of his subject, and so he doesn't linger over analyzing the effects of water or capturing its moisture. Instead, he offers a more subjective interpretation, aiming to create a composition that's vibrant in color and intriguing in content.

Natalino Arfelli (1922) is undoubtedly an academically trained painter who places great importance on drawing and the possibilities of modeling and investigating plastic values. His style favors broad layers of bright colors that allow the figures to stand out clearly within the composition.
