R. Di Paola - A. Anna

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.

The painter Di Paola displays remarkable painting technique, allowing him to render his subject perfectly and naturally. The subject appears in a nearly perfect frontal view, with a natural twist of the torso. There is great precision and richness of detail, both in the physiognomy and in the clothing and accessories, demonstrating the painter's genuinely realist approach to art. In addition to this meticulous attention to detail, Di Paola is also distinguished by a loose brushstroke, which creates a delicate softness in the modeling. The subject's forms blend seamlessly with the space, and the play of light and shadow is very natural. Furthermore, this artist's palette is distinguished by the vibrant contrast between dark and warm hues.

The clothing, but especially the demeanor of this portrait, in which the subject appears ordinary, without any attempt at moral or psychological idealization, indicate this painting as a product of a realist artistic language. The work was created by Di Paola, an artist with excellent academic training who demonstrates remarkable pictorial technique in his impeccable rendering of the subject.
