Pietro Ricciardi - Spring

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.

In his work, painter Pietro Ricciardi consistently adheres to a cursive, immediate stylistic form, which consistently ensures a fresh execution. Specifically, favoring the structural function of color, Ricciardi employs a dense and full-bodied technique that synthesizes his subjects while giving them concreteness. From a palette perspective, the artist stands out for his use of bright, luminous colors.

Pietro Ricciardi, born in Noicattaro in 1924, is an artist deeply influenced by post-Impressionist painting movements. His language is extremely synthetic and grounded in the expressive power of color.
