Pietro Pesenti - Vase of Flowers

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

Pietro Pesenti's artistic language can essentially be described as naturalistic. He aims for a precise reproduction of phenomenal reality, which he transfers to the canvas with elegance and a wealth of detail. However, color plays a fundamental role in constructing the image, which, through a pictorial layering of broad brush strokes, becomes complex. The material is shaped and brought to life and vibrant with light, but also with pure existence. We can sense this especially in the fragrance of the flowers, as well as in the vitality of the fruit already on the verge of rotting. We can see it in the realism of the curtain, on which white flashes of light reverberate.

Pietro Pesenti is a painter with a highly accomplished technique and an exquisitely realist approach to painting. His painting method transfers reality to the canvas without mediation or idealization. His style displays a certain impressionistic tendency, which is fundamental to his work in conveying the visual and existential complexity of his subjects.
