Alessandro Chirillo - Gli amanti tristi

Contemporary painting that evokes intimacy and melancholy through intertwined forms. The work is painted on canvas, using natural pigments and charcoal, which provide deep blacks and powdery shades for dramatic contours and shadows.
The human figures embrace at the center of the canvas, stylized in curved and geometric poses.
In the painting, the sense of emotional isolation is amplified; the two lovers symbolize a love hindered, with veiled expressions of melancholy rendered through heavy charcoal shadows. I am a self-taught painter born in 1971; I have always had a passion for color, my training arising from daily observation, improvised canvases in the home garage, and nights spent experimenting with oils, acrylics, and various materials.
