Silvio Crespi - Solitude and Freedom

A noble animal, a symbol of beauty and harmony, the horse has repeatedly been a prominent subject in the history of art. Since the fourteenth century, its presence has always been obligatory in battle scenes and equestrian monuments, and painters have always found it a challenge to depict it with anatomical precision and naturalistic rendering.

The painter Silvio Crespi's style is based on a naturalistic rendering of his subjects, which he achieves through a refined painting technique. However, his vision of the world is, expressively, more simplified than the sensory data. Through this simplification, Crespi's works emerge into an almost dreamlike dimension, undoubtedly poetic and spiritual. This is also evident in his use of bright colors, which do not fully respect the natural element and must be interpreted emotionally.

Silvio Crespi was born in Busto Arsizio in 1937, where he lives and works. His paintings are essentially figurative, yet he seeks to reveal a poetic and spiritual dimension even in the most realistic scenes. He does so primarily through the use of color, which, for Crespi, also has a symbolic meaning.
