Ottaviani - Fantasy of Paintings

In the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.

In these four panels, we can see how the artist Giuliano Ottaviani's primary expressive medium is the line. A graphic and elegant line that, by establishing a sinuous, curved rhythm within the panels, delineates the subjects in a simple manner. This results in a remarkable compositional purity that greatly influences the work's expressive power.

Giuliano Ottaviani was born in Foligno in 1954. He first attended the School of Art in Perugia, then graduated from the Brera Academy under the guidance of Domenico Purificato. His first exhibition was held at the age of 17 in Milan, but he subsequently achieved great success in Zurich, where the gallery owner Her Bolag purchased his works for his private collection. Ottaviani divides his time between Italy and Switzerland, where he has always garnered excellent critical and public acclaim.
