E. Paba - Landscape with bell tower

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. 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 sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Paba's style is distinguished by a purity that shines through in a pictorial production that expresses a vision of reality imbued with primary values. Paba's representation of the world is essential, made up of simple compositional lines and pure colors. The painter's guiding instinct is, in fact, to offer a simplified interpretation of reality, seeking new values ​​of purity in representation. For these reasons, Paba's language can be compared to the Naïve movement. The Naïve artist is by definition self-taught, someone who has not attended academies but has found inspiration within himself. Stylistically, this translates into figurative painting that offers an interpretation of reality with 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.

As we can see from an analysis of his works, E. Paba, both in his choice of subjects and his execution style, is an artist who moves within the realm of classical and figurative art, yet displays a certain naïve approach to his compositions. His desire to seek lightness and simplicity in representation is evident, with the aim of imbuing his artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence.
