Rodolfo Bersani - Downhill

This fascinating work allows us to admire the extraordinary artistry of Rodolfo Bersani. The subject of the painting was inspired by the artist's passion for the history of cycling. Hence the artist's idea to create a work that would be his own emotional narrative, evoked by the athlete and the sporting event. The creation of this painting thus began with the search for a distinctive image, an intense and creative moment, with strong chromatic tones. Bersani seeks to enhance the sense of movement, the vividness of the colors, and the expressiveness of his work. By uniting two different expressive media—sports reporting and painting—the artist narrates the compelling and extraordinary history of cycling with an original and utterly artistic language.

This painting by Rodolfo Bersani was conceived according to a highly distinctive compositional concept that combines the influence of sports reporting with a pictorial interpretation of reality. Indeed, the scene resembles a vintage photograph of a race, immortalizing a moving moment of competition. This approach allows Bersani to highlight speed and dynamism through a direct connection to a collective imagination. But it is on this popular and immediate basis that the artist's pictorial flair comes into play, enhancing, through an expressionistic use of color, the most emotional aspects of the image, rendering them unique and unrepeatable. Specifically, the scene is created through an impressionistic application of color, which directly conveys the artist's perception and emotions into the painting. The rendering is dynamic and vibrant, charged with existential vibrations that are perfectly in tune with the dynamism of the subject. But it is above all the sepia-toned chromaticism, imitating vintage photographs, that gives the painting a unique allure.

Rodolfo Bersani was born in Cortemaggiore in 1954. He trained first at the Art Institute of Parma, then at the Brera Academy in Milan under the guidance of Domenico Purificato. A highly eclectic artist, his work has evolved through several phases. From his early realism and hyperrealism, he eventually developed a revival of mythological themes, developing what can be described as a "Techno-metaphysics." His works, present in both public and private collections, have been exhibited in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.
