Pio SERAFINI was born in 1951 in Ascoli Piceno; he is an architect, musician, and painter. He is in the deepest sense of the term because, in addition to often selecting the Piceno territory as the preferred subject of his work, he is also the custodian of a painting tradition typically from Ascoli: alongside an evident influence of the best French post-impressionist painting, from Cézanne to Chagall, Serafini's work lies in the path of the illustrious Ascoli painters Dino Ferrari and Ernesto Ercolani, the starting point for a uniquely inner deformation of the visual element. The exploration of environments, typically silent and devoid of human presence, is always an inner inquiry, which tilts urban agglomerations and fields, mountains and skies, as if the wave of memory and recollections crashes against reality, bending it and rendering its contours and distinctive features evanescent. The color, which captures and draws the gaze into the composition, is also expressive, often anti-naturalistic, with tones that are sometimes bright, sometimes dark, capable of condensing light into the volumes of the depicted subjects: the Marche landscapes, with the countryside becoming tapestries woven from the “fabrics” of the different crops, but also the city of Ascoli, with its typic ally immobile and solitary towers like metaphysical relics; and then the animals of the still-living rural tradition, among which the rooster stands out, an element recurring in his production, treated in a quasi-futurist manner, a convergence and explosion of dynamic lines and vibrant colors, the true "trait d'union" between tradition, emotional intensity, and compositional dynamism.
