Valter Selfi - Trabocchi

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 always been an artist's aspiration. 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 16th century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In this work, painter Vittorio Selfi composes a landscape characterized by lyrical naturalism. The composition is very classical, with a perspective view that fades toward the horizon, marked by the barrier of rocks dividing the intense blue of the sky from that of the sea. With great balance, the trabocco in the foreground appears central, with its clear, regular volume. Formally, Selfi employs a sober pictorial style that doesn't disrupt the form but rather makes the scene vibrant.

Painter Vittorio Selfi is an artist who primarily works with landscapes, which he interprets with a very classical approach to painting. His views are based on traditional perspective, in which the subjects appear volumetrically enhanced. His technique is very restrained and relies on bright, light-filled colors.
