Selis - Untitled

The visual arts have always had a close connection with the world of biology, both animal and plant. Graphic representation of the species studied has always been fundamental, both for classification and for scientific analysis. For this reason, objective representations of plants and animals have always been necessary, and this became especially true in the 18th and 19th centuries, a period when scientific research was most widespread. It is worth recalling how the studies of Linnaeus and Darwin, in particular, greatly stimulated the study and classification of animal and plant species.

The work, due to its extraordinary objective rendering, almost seems like an illustration useful for the classification and study of animal species. Its beauty lies in the scientific precision with which the subject is rendered. The drawing demonstrates extraordinary technical skill in capturing the image in every minute detail with a noble didactic intent. In this specific case, the coloring adds further value to the execution of the work, in that the didactic perfection is tempered by the very light glazes typical of Selis. In this way, the work acquires greater immediacy and freshness of execution.

U. Selis is an artist specializing in bird reproductions, which he executes objectively and with a highly didactic approach. His work is enhanced by a lively and dynamic pictorial style that tempers the objective rendering with a fresh execution.
