Casio Boada Matas - Rio Muny, Ecuatorial Guinea

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting and a backdrop, but also as a subject in its own right. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been one of the greatest aspirations of artists throughout history. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the 16th century; and finally with the depiction of each of the vibrations of light on objects in Impressionism.

Casio Boada's style presents a perfect fusion of realism and a delicate impressionistic interpretation of sensory data. Indeed, on the one hand, the artist accurately depicts reality in all its details, with a strong sense of everyday life, starting from a simple experience. On the other hand, his refined painting technique allows him to convey a sense of immediacy to the canvas, thanks to rapid brushstrokes rich in atmospheric vibrations. Light thus strikes the objects, but without interfering with the precise depiction of reality. The entire composition is therefore characterized by a clear brilliance revealed in the play of shadows. This is also why his use of a soft and delicate color palette is noteworthy.
