Mario Poggiali - Still Life

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.

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.
