Armando Ballanti - Figure

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 capture 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 pictorial language of Senigallia-born painter Armando Ballanti is inspired by a lively naturalism. He possesses a remarkable technique that allows him to effortlessly reproduce his subjects and delineate them sculpturally, seeking spatial depth. He displays a highly classical inclination, yet his brushstrokes possess a certain impressionistic verve that imbues his works with immediacy and freshness. This is also contributed to by his taste for vibrant, brilliant colors and the evocative use of light.

Armando Ballanti was a painter originally from Senigallia, born in 1922 and died in 2009. He was an artist who conceived of art in a very classical way, with a soft naturalism, tempered by a lively, impressionistic-inspired approach.
