Description of the work
Description of the work
Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.
The painter Mario Poggiali stands out for his genre-focused work, exploring characteristic scenes of city life, portraits of simple people, or still lifes, to which he imbues a unique lyricism. Hence his penchant for picturesque and folkloristic scenes or views, always within an evocative pictorial framework. Formally, this translates into an extremely impressionistic, vibrant, and dynamic artistic style, ensuring freshness and immediacy of execution. His brushstrokes are characterized by a remarkably cursive touch, composed of sudden flickers that effectively capture the vibrations of light on objects. This is particularly evident in the calligraphic touches with which he delineates every detail of the subject. The entire composition is imbued with a calm sentimentality and a freshness deriving from the artist's technical prowess.
Mario Poggiali is a Florentine artist who focuses primarily on urban landscapes and genre scenes, with a highly lyrical vision of phenomenal reality. Translating emotions into images through a vibrant, cursive style inspired by impressionism is essential to the artist.
