Shepherds - Figure

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

In this portrait, the artist Pastori implements a process of progressively stripping away plasticity. The subject is defined exclusively by drawing and color. The drawing is composed of a very light line, almost a rough sketch of the figure to be portrayed, but it serves to delineate a personal aesthetic canon, with very elongated forms that further accentuate a certain evanescence.

The artist Pastori has developed his own specific aesthetic canon based on the emptying of plastic values ​​in favor of an elegant line with elongated proportions.
