Virginia Vargas - Untitled

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 been a major aspiration for artists of every era. 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 sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Vargas essentially starts from a realist vocabulary, inspired by Edward Hopper and other American painters. However, Hopper's unfiltered, light-filled reality is completely reworked by Vargas, who imbues it with lived experience and emotionally charged vibrations. Indeed, on a formal level, while the drawing is extremely precise, almost hyperrealistic in capturing every minute detail of the objects, on a pictorial level, reality is represented with a highly structural paint layer, which arranges the brushstrokes plane upon plane. In this way, the surface of the painting becomes complex, suited to capturing the complexity of the human gaze.
