Novella Parigini - Untitled

Both in terms of the subject matter and the execution method, we can say that the execution of this painting reveals a certain naive attitude on the part of the artist. The desire to achieve a childishness in the representation is evident, with the aim of connoting the artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence.

Cats and flowers are very common themes in Novella Parigini's artistic production and provide an excellent pretext for exploring synthesis through color and the search for simple, primary values. A few lines provide the structure of the subject, which is then filled in with long brushstrokes that define its structure.

The figure of Novella Parigini (1921-1993) differs markedly from the conventional naïve artist, who is typically a social outcast, if not outright marginalized. Parigini's life, however, is characterized precisely by the high society of her experiences, both in Rome and Paris. And it is in this sense, then, that her pursuit of pure and simple formal values ​​in her artistic career should be interpreted. First and foremost, the hedonism typical of the Sienese aristocracy from which Parigini descended comes into play, making painting a game in itself, a playful exercise to be practiced with a refined and fascinating childishness. But art, for Parigini, is also a reflection of her free, unconventional life: hence her desire to pursue pure aesthetic canons that break all ties with the past.
