AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Acrylic on canvas.

Master Aldo Gentilini.

In good condition.

Signed on the front bottom, while on the back there is the authentic one made directly by the artist.

Canvas dimensions 50 x 40 cm.

It is definitely an interesting work for anyone who has a space to furnish and enliven with taste, in the Abstract style; it is complete with its original frame which is in good condition and glass.

The images reported are an integral part of the description.

It will be packed with great care and shipped by express courier with tracking.

Aldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1911; since he was a boy he felt a strong religious vocation that led him to enter the cloistered monastery of Pietrasanta, where he stayed for three years, pursuing philosophical studies, then dedicating himself as a self-taught artist to research, which would lead him to exhibit in numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
A man of faith, he believes that only through art can the divine be reached. And this idea will form the backdrop to all his work:
"I try to make emptiness – Gentilini stated – This emptiness provokes in me a certain catharsis: I observe sensitive values that I respect, I reevaluate them, but I never know how I will fall into the painting and this is the realization of a truth toward the sign never thought."
He was an artist practicing asceticism, to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. The two natures, that human and that aesthetic, coincide perfectly.
