Ulisse Romano Massaccesi - Untitled

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. The artist Ulysses is famous for his paintings featuring charming young priests, portrayed in a variety of everyday situations against the backdrop of imaginative urban settings.

The artist Ulisse never fails to demonstrate his creative and imaginative streak. The evocative image of the typically Italian urban landscape (in this case, Venice) is always charged with magic, but also with a touch of metaphysics. Indeed, the entire surface of the work is occupied by perspective, where the buildings follow one another like modules in an ironic game played by the artist. In this sense, the use of light, which enhances the regular volumes, inspired by geometric solids, is truly evocative. Furthermore, the pictorial layering is compact, following a dry and magical realism typical of metaphysical movements. Against this simultaneously playful and fairy-tale-like backdrop, the usual little priests and nuns move in lively everyday situations.

Rossano Massaccesi, known professionally as Ulisse, was born in Osimo in 1957, where he still lives and works today. Self-taught, he entered the world of contemporary painting and sculpture at a young age, learning from great masters who embraced "naive" art. For several years, he has participated in group and solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad. Invited to many events, he has only participated in major national and international exhibitions, where he has always achieved considerable success. Among the most notable are ExpoArt in Miami and New York, Caracas, and Malaga, as well as solo exhibitions in major European cities.
