Giosam - Baia

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.

Giosam is a painter who looks to a great tradition. His gaze is turned to the past, guided by a citational spirit that informs his work. This spirit is found primarily in his choice of traditional subjects—nudes, still lifes, and landscapes. His language also draws on a figurative style that sees mimesis (imitating nature) as its primary purpose. Thus, his strokes are soft, and the application of color is always rich in transparent layers that blur the objects and place them naturally in space. Even his color choices reflect Giosam's taste, with a predilection for brownish hues reminiscent of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Giovanni Sammaruco, known as Giosam, was born in Otranto in 1933. He is an academically trained painter with a remarkable technique. His work is inspired by the tradition and history of painting. His style draws on the Renaissance, Baroque, and Flemish art.
