Description from the seller
Antonio Soriano, 1952, Neapolitan self-taught painter who follows in the footsteps of the 19th-century Neapolitan masters, whom he drew inspiration from for the use of color and technique, always committed to exploring new chromatic effects.
The work falls within the realm of expressionist portraiture. One notes a skilled use of technique, where color is applied with bold, visible brushstrokes that build the volumes without resorting to sharp contour lines.
The brushwork is vibrant and nervy; the artist does not seek photographic realism, but the portrayal of psychological tension through the density of the pigment.
His works find a home in many households and he is followed by as many art dealers.
