Mario Puopolo - Untitled

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.

Mario Puopolo's painting style is grounded in remarkable technique and exquisite sensitivity. His figuration is concrete, offering the viewer a clear representation of the subject. Yet he manages to transfigure everything through a lyrical sense rooted in the application of color. Puopolo works with light, almost transparent glazes that imbue scenes with delicate nuances and a magical atmospheric haze, or imbue them with an impressionist freshness.

Mario Puopolo was a Roman painter. His teachers were Mario Barberis and Luigi Polverini. After the war, he joined the Gruppo Romano, with which he participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions. He received various awards, including the Michetti Prize, the Vasto Prize, and the Garda Prize.
