Vincenzo Arpaia - Backlight

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.

For artist Vincenzo Arpaia, depicting landscape means achieving, through painting, a delicate fusion between naturalistic rendering and poetry. Indeed, his views, in which he employs a purely figurative language, remain rooted in sensory data. Yet reality seems transfigured into a lyrical interpretation that almost transports it into a dreamlike dimension. Formally, this translates into a highly delicate pictorial style where the representation of reality occurs in a rarefied manner. This means that the capture of realistic details and particulars is lost in favor of a more expressionistic and symbolic language. Complicit in this approach is Arpaia's refined pictorial touch, which subtly synthesizes objects. Thus, his color palette is also distinguished by a subtle anti-naturalistic tendency, whereby immersion in a tonal predominance of blue or violet can take on specific symbolic connotations.

Vincenzo Arpaia was a painter originally from Naples. As we can see from an analysis of his works, he stands out for his production of landscapes, reinterpreted by the artist with great skill, delicacy, and poetic flair.
