Luciano Carraro - Still Life with Guitar

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 aspect.

Luciano Carraro seeks to capture the true essence of things (the noumenon) on canvas, but he does so without departing from the sensory reality (the phenomenon). To this end, he engages in a profound process of reflection on objects, aiming to capture their most vivid image. In this process, the painter is aided by the light and color that permeate the composition, leading the artist to implement a process of reducing objects until their true essence remains. What remains is an almost diaphanous yet extremely alive and dynamic image, shaken by genuine existential (as well as luminous) vibrations. Another fundamental element in Carraro's still lifes is the formal perfection and balanced composition, which hark back to the great tradition of Italian painting.

Artist Luciano Carraro, as we can appreciate from his interpretation of the "still life" genre, has focused his research on the representation of a vibrant and existential reality.
