Maurilio Colombini - Figure of a Woman

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the female figure is an expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the female figure has also been a central figure in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.

Maurilio Colombini's style has a strong expressionist tendency, achieved through a vigorous use of color. In his compositions, in fact, the application of paint is fundamental, rather than the drawing, in the construction of subjects and space. In this regard, everything is uniform between space and subject, which, thanks to Maurilio Colombini's technique, achieve complete fusion and interaction. Thus, subject and space reciprocally intertwine in a harmonious blend of colors. Within this balance, however, Colombini synthesizes the objects with a few brushstrokes, sketching their forms and volumes in a concise yet powerfully expressive manner.

Maurilio Colombini was born in Piombino in 1933. He is self-taught. Although he began drawing at an early age, he never attended school. He worked in a wide variety of jobs (shop boy, sailor, carpenter), but always found time to pursue his passion: painting. Maurilio Colombini's artistic output is marked by an experimental approach that leads him to use all types of paint (oil, tempera, earth, tar, pencils, body paint) and supports (paper, car hoods, cardboard, doors, chairs, walls) in his works.
