Michele Lapesara - Vase with Flowers

Flowers as an independent subject 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 were depicted 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 became a way of interpreting reality.

Artist Michele Lapesara is best known for his urban landscapes, which combine a flair for vibrant, lively illustration with a wealth of folkloristic and popular details. This whimsical and creative nature is consistently expressed even when he tackles other subjects, as in this vase of flowers. The composition always proceeds in a stylized manner, with a bold black line that brings the drawing to life and prepares the areas that will be filled with color in a cloisonné-style manner. Michele Lapesara's palette also reflects his painterly flair, composed of a myriad of colors in bright and sophisticated hues, always maintaining a polychromatic balance throughout the composition. The defining characteristic of Michele Lapesara's works is precisely his ability to saturate the composition with the presence of numerous objects, which are curious glimpses of an everyday and popular reality, which the artist narrates with simplicity and pictorial imagination.

Michele Lapesara is an Apulian painter born in Bari in 1935. His work is distinguished by vibrant city views with a folkloristic feel. He prefers to depict important squares and monuments, especially in Apulia and his native Bari.
