AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Gentle Spirit
A gentle spirit lingers in the teal light. Audrey stands with calla lilies, their white petals like frozen waves against her skin. Her eyes are deep pools of kindness, catching the soft glow of a forgotten era. She wears the silence of a swan, a timeless elegance wrapped in ivory silk. Each brushstroke hums a song of grace, turning shadows into starlight. Here, beauty is pure.

About the Artist:

Pippo (born in Monza) creates works that navigate the quiet terrain between geometric abstraction and surrealism. Leaving behind a successful career in graphic design to devote himself entirely to painting, he settled near the calm shores of Lake Maggiore. His background is evident in his compositions—architectural, balanced, and precise—yet they are softened by a cinematic atmosphere that feels like a memory or a dream.

For Pippo, art is an immersive act. He engages with his subjects by writing narratives in the first-person present tense, mentally stepping into the canvas to experience the moment from within. However, while he enters these worlds personally, he leaves the physical canvas open to interpretation. His figures, though elegantly attired, are frequently faceless. This anonymity is an invitation: it ensures the protagonist "can be anyone," allowing the viewer to step into the scene and inhabit the story themselves.

This boundary between the seen and the unseen defines the artist as well. Reserved and introspective, he writes privately and prefers his canvases to speak. He maintains no digital footprint, avoiding social media to preserve the same sense of mystery found in his work.

Using a palette of subtle, atmospheric tones punctuated by decisive color, Pippo refines a language of elegant economy. His paintings—filled with silent animals, sharp shadows, and glowing light—are not just images, but open-ended stories of longing and grace.
