Casini - Africa

The subject matter and method of representation can be compared to the Naïve movement. The Naïve artist is by definition self-taught, someone who hasn't attended an art school but has found inspiration within themselves. Stylistically, this translates into figurative painting that offers a simplified interpretation of reality, with infantile and unconsciously primitivist overtones. However, even the Naïve artist, in his spontaneity, possesses a self-awareness that leads him to develop a very specific aesthetic language, distinguishing it from amateurism.

Casini's style can be described as naive, primarily because it cannot be categorized into any one stylistic movement. His version of reality, simplified and imaginatively modified, plays with images, creating a fun and creative composition. To this end, the artist takes all the necessary liberties. He distorts his subjects by elongating them, subverts the concept of space, and plays with the rules by compressing the composition. The stereotypical image thus becomes a fundamental element within the composition's overall structure.

From an analysis of this work, Casini appears to be a painter who cannot easily be classified within a specific artistic or cultural context. His work is extremely creative, based on a constant play on subverting the rules of composition.
