Valentini - Untitled

Flowers, or plants in general, as independent subjects, began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the world of flowers and plants, as they offered an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers and plants were depicted not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers and plants also became a way of interpreting reality.

In this work by artist Valentini, the images are extremely concrete, with a tangible realism. Indeed, composition-wise, the painting is always based on a solid drawing structure. Thus, the objects acquire a plastic structure that determines their concreteness and clarity, yet at the same time appears to be made of a fragile material, glass or crystal. In terms of the pictorial layering, the artist imbues these real presences with life through a highly complex and dynamic treatment of color, composed of transparent, light-filled glazes. Furthermore, the chromatic coherence, based on tonal gradations that unify the entire surface, is extraordinary.
of the work.

As we can see from an analysis of this work, the artist Valentini begins with a fairly classical conception of artistic creation, based on perfect drawing and an excellent naturalistic rendering of the subject. However, his compositions take on a peculiar lyricism thanks to an interpretation that renders even concrete objects as airy, light structures.
