Masini Daniele - Ritratto

Daniele Masini has been described as a "rebellious painter". In this 50 x 50 format, the artist manages to concentrate a monumental force typically reserved for his large canvases.
"Masini's painting is a revisit of art history through a deforming and visionary lens. His figures are often prisoners of altered spaces, where the body becomes a dynamic mass and the painting matter swells, almost alchemical."
In this specific portrait, the absence of a defined spatial context projects the observer into an atemporal dimension. It is a painting of memory and vision, where the subject seems to sink into himself, letting the color (the deep blue and the vital red) tell the drama of existence.
