Paolo Urbini - West Wind on Lake Como

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The work of the painter Paolo Urbini is primarily inspired by the natural world, particularly flowers and reflections on water, to achieve a vision of reality as a fresh and vibrant polychrome. Thus, the expanses of flowers provide Urbini with a pretext for achieving a harmony of colors, in a delicate interplay of balances and compositional references. This exploration of Paolo Urbini's work is also supported by form. In his style, color predominates, distributed in small, dense touches, in a sort of pointillist technique.

Paolo Urbini (Sezzadio, 1929) moved with his family to Lake Como in 1943. Since 1952, he has lived in Rome, where he has resumed and continues to work with a brush, exhibiting his paintings in various group shows; this has allowed him to gain an ever closer understanding of the Roman art world, its issues, and its figures. Urbini joined the International Federation of Independent Italian Artists and participated with some of his works in the Fifth National Exhibition of the Rome Group at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, attending the School of the Nude. He participated in the Via Margutta exhibitions from 1954 to 1961.
