Graziella Paolini Parlagreco - Untitled

Flowers as a subject in themselves 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 began to appear 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 becomes a way of interpreting reality.

Graziella Paolini Parlagreco is an artist who truly achieves, especially in her depiction of floral compositions, a perfect balance between mimesis and lyricism. Indeed, at the heart of her essentially figurative language lies a flawless naturalistic rendering. Graziella Paolini Parlagreco stands out for her flawless reproduction of her subject, even with a certain plastic consistency and a consequent determination of space within the painting or engraving. At the same time, however, the expressive power of her style lies essentially in her vivid, impressionistic-inspired pictorial application, ready to capture every single vibration of light or atmosphere.
