Tolomelli Cesare - Figura con pedina

In this portrait I reworked cubist language into a clear and rigorous composition, in which the face and body of the female figure are decomposed into distinct and harmonious color fields. The frontal pose and the stable structure of the scene confer on the figure a silent and almost iconic presence. The color, intense and luminous, becomes a constructive element of the image, while the small black pawn introduces a symbolic accent that suggests a dimension of reflection and inner balance.
Cesare Tolomelli is an Italian painter born in Bologna, a city where he forms artistically by attending the School of Art, embarking from a young age on a painting research path oriented toward the experimentation of color and form.
He currently lives and works in Rimini, a context that has deeply influenced his stylistic evolution and his visual language.

Over the years he has participated in numerous painting competitions and art reviews in Italy, receiving recognitions and positive responses from the public and critics, thanks to a personal and immediately recognizable style.

His research focuses on chromatic and geometric decomposition of reality, with particular attention to the expressive power of color as an emotional vehicle. The figures, often female, are reinterpreted through chromatic planes, tonal contrasts and soft shapes, giving rise to images suspended between figuration and abstraction.

Tolomelli adheres to the Rimini chromatic current, within which he develops an intense and vibrant painting, where color is never descriptive but structural and emotional. The painted surface thus becomes a space of balance between intuition and control, between instinctive energy and constructive composition.

His works are present in private collections in Italy and abroad, confirming international interest in a production capable of dialoguing with the language of modern and contemporary art, in particular with the experiences of Cubism and expressionist painting revisited in a personal key.
