AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Acrylic on canvas.

Maestro Aldo Gentilini.

In good condition.

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

Canvas dimensions 30 x 40 cm.

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

The images shown 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; from a young age he felt a strong religious vocation that pushed him to enter the cloistered monastery of Pietrasanta, where he stayed for three years, completing philosophical studies, before dedicating himself as a self-taught artist to artistic exploration, which would lead him to exhibit in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.

A man of faith, he believes that only through art can one reach the divine. And this belief will underlie his entire work: "I try to create emptiness – Gentilini declared – This emptiness provokes in me a certain catharsis: I observe sensitive values that I respect, I re-evaluate them, but I never know how I will fall into the painting, and this is the realization of a truth toward a sign never imagined."

He was an artist practicing asceticism, to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. The two natures, the human and the aesthetic, coincide perfectly.
