C. Bortoli - Untitled

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.

Bortoli's style is based primarily on a solid drawing structure. Through highly defined lines, the artist enhances the subject's volumes and plastic qualities. Thus, the subject's anatomical forms and facial features are rendered with extreme fidelity. The artist's pronounced plasticity is further enhanced by the shading created with a soft brushstroke.

Bortoli is an artist with a solid pictorial background, especially in the construction of the drawn structure of his works. His pictorial conception is tied to a consistent naturalistic rendering, although there is also a certain degree of idealization, evident in his use of a highly objective style tending towards hyperrealism.
