Description of the work
Description of the work
Flowers as an independent subject began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world, as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers were depicted not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also became a way of interpreting reality.

Donatien Quartieri's stylistic language presents a very specific research direction, defined by the term Chromologos. For this artist, the sensations communicated and the stimuli suggested by chromatic elements and the relationships established between colors are fundamental to the composition of his work. This is why Donatien Quartieri's paintings always translate into exuberant polychrome surfaces with bright, luminous hues. This occurs both when the artist pursues abstract, pure colors, obviously drawing inspiration from Kandinsky. But Donatien Quartieri's creativity also includes original formulas in which pure chromatic elements overlap with figurative ones. In this way, the artist leaves a trace of reality through a light, ethereal stroke. This same reality is then broken down and recomposed in the intertwined dialogue of colors that overlap on the various planes of the work's surface. In this way the sensible world is directly analyzed and transfigured into a spiritual language of emotions as pure as the colors that Donatien Quartieri uses.
Giuseppe Quartieri, known professionally as Donatien, was born in Lodi in 1963. As a young man, frequenting various Milanese ateliers, he decided to dedicate his life to art, particularly to the study of color, drawing inspiration from the work of Kandinsky, Itten, and De Staël. He then developed his theory of Chromologos in a series of lectures and writings, which developed into a series of artistic and spiritual reflections. These reflections gave rise, in the early 2000s, to the first series of Chromologos works. He has exhibited his work in galleries in major cities such as Paris, Rome, Milan, Rimini, Heidelberg, Bremen, Ysny, Munich, Lyon, and Chartres. Between 2013 and 2014, he wrote a book in French and Italian on Chromologos. Today, Donatien Quartieri continues his research alongside his artistic practice at the Chromologos Academy in London.
