Maggioni Stop - Composition

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory element.

As in her famous views of Milan, painter Ferma Maggioni's interpretation of the still life genre is resolved through a pictorial style balanced between realism and an expressionistic rendering of the subject. Ferma Maggioni, in fact, is faithful to the tangible material before her eyes and presents it to us as it is, in its pure essentiality. However, the power of this representation, stark and genuine, is fueled by the artist's pictorial style, which, paradoxically, transforms reality itself in an expressionistic manner. Her painting is highly structural, synthesizing objects through color. The flowers, fruit, and other objects are rendered with broad, dense strokes that emphasize their essentiality, yet in a pictorial language vibrant with existentialism. The resulting image is extremely alive and dynamic, thanks in part to the choice of a vibrant color palette.

Ferma Maggioni is a Milanese painter. She has focused primarily on views of her city, often in a very classical and traditional style, but also experimenting with more decidedly expressionist stylistic forms. She has exhibited her work in various shows, always achieving critical and public success.
