Lorenzo Pagà - Christmas in Piazza Cavour in Livorno

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

Lorenzo Pagà's works reveal a highly creative expressionist streak in this artist. Iconographically, it's clear that we're dealing with a subject intended to depict an everyday life rich in symbolic meaning. Thus, while the interpretation recalls Symbolism, the execution of the painting further leans toward Expressionism, due to the remarkable synthesis of its formal rendering. The subjects are delineated in a minimalist manner, while the application of color is gestural, achieving a heightened pictorialism with highly expressive effects. Thus, the scenes seem almost dematerialized on a two-dimensional surface, where the vibrations of life are captured by the paint.

Painter Lorenzo Pagà has dedicated his research to an artistic language that takes reality as its subject, transfigured by color. His interpretation of everyday life is transformed into dynamic compositions where the painter's gesture takes center stage.
