Mario Masetti - Untitled

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.

In his works, it's clear that for Mario Masetti, representing reality means achieving, through painting, a delicate fusion between naturalistic rendering and expressionistic force. Indeed, the artist uses a purely figurative language and remains rooted in sensory data. Yet reality seems to be transfigured into a vivid interpretation that shifts it into an expressionist dimension. Formally, this translates into a highly synthetic pictorial style, where the representation of reality occurs essentially through the application of paint. This means that the capture of realistic details and particulars is lost in favor of a more dramatic language. Masetti's refined pictorial touch, which synthesizes objects with great vigor, plays a key role in this process.

Mario Masetti is an artist who has dedicated himself primarily to classical and traditional genres such as landscapes, genre scenes, and animal representations, enlivening them with a more expressionist nature, based on a vigorous pictorial synthesis.
