Erbert Mulè - Children with Tears

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.

Erbert Mulè is a popular artist for his portraits of children, often with tearful faces, full of melancholy and empathy for the viewer. Mulè achieves this result primarily through his impeccable formal quality. The subjects are depicted in relaxed, natural poses, often captured in a complex three-quarter pose. The faces exhibit absolute formal perfection, marked by a certain degree of idealization. From a pictorial perspective, the subject matter is compacted into an objectifying interpretation, yet Erbert Mulè does not shy away from a certain painterly style, employing transparent glazes to create dreamier atmospheres.

Erbert Mulè is an artist originally from Manduria who specializes in portraits of boys and girls. His pictorial approach is classical and traditional, underpinned by impeccable formal quality.
