Carlo Baroli - Woman of Orgosolo

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.

Painter Carlo Baroli has based his entire artistic production on a poetics of faces. Faces of real people, with expressions marked by existence, which the artist does not wish to hide behind the screen of banal idealization. Indeed, Baroli's strength lies precisely in bringing out the truth in these faces, even using a simplified compositional format, consisting of a frontal, iconic shot in a decontextualized space. The subject establishes a direct relationship with the viewer, offering their physiognomy, analyzed in every detail by Carlo Baroli's skillful painting technique.

Carlo Baroli is a painter originally from Oristano, born in 1943. He trained in the studio of painter Carlo Contini and then with Franco Bussu. He won second prize at the International Painting Competition of the City of Sassari. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in cities such as Alghero, Bono, Ghilarza, Geneva, London, Macomer, Nuoro, Prato, and Sanluri.
