Salvatore Vernengo - Tropical Sunset

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. Salvatore Vernengo's pictorial production is distinguished by his choice of traditional subjects, such as landscapes, portraits, or depictions of animals. However, in this artist, tradition combines with an original symbolist streak that leads him to transfigure reality.

For artist Salvatore Vernengo, depicting landscapes, human figures, or animals means achieving, through painting, a delicate fusion between naturalistic rendering and poetry. Indeed, his subjects, in which he employs a purely figurative language, remain rooted in sensory data. Yet reality seems transfigured into a lyrical interpretation that almost transports it into a dreamlike dimension. Formally, this translates into a highly delicate pictorial style where reality is represented objectively yet subtly. This means that the capture of realistic details and particulars is lost in favor of a predominantly dry language, aimed at exalting plasticity. Yet Salvatore Vernengo possesses an extremely refined touch that allows him to delicately shade the objects he depicts. Above all, his color palette is distinguished by a refined anti-naturalistic tendency, whereby the total immersion in cool or warm colors, which tonally unify the scene, expresses the artist's poetic sensibility and his almost dreamlike interpretation of the world.

Artist Salvatore Vernengo is a figurative painter who, through extensive research, has developed his own coherent and original language. His representations draw on reality, but through a delicate, symbolist pictorial conception, nature is transfigured into a poetic dreamlike dimension.
