Pio Serafini was born in 1951 in Ascoli Piceno; he is an architect, musician and painter. He is so in the deepest sense of the term because, beyond often choosing the Piceno territory as the preferred subject of his work, he is also the bearer of a painting tradition typically associated with Ascoli: together with an evident influence from the best French post-impressionist painting, from Cézanne to Chagall, Serafini's work sits in the lineage of the illustrious Ascoli painters Dino Ferrari and Ernesto Ercolani, a starting point for an original inner deformation of the visual element. The exploration of environments, typically silent and devoid of human presence, is always an inner search, which tilts urban agglomerations and fields, the mountains and the skies, as if the wave of memory and recollections were breaking against reality itself, bending it, rendering its contours and distinctive features evanescent. The color, which captures and drags the eye into the composition, is also expressive, often anti-naturalistic, with hues now bright, now somber, capable of condensing light into the volumes of the depicted subjects: the Marchigian landscapes, with the countryside becoming tapestries composed from the “fabrics” of the different crops, but also the city of Ascoli, with its typical immobile and solitary towers like metaphysical relics; and then the animals of the still-vivid rural tradition, among which the rooster stands out, a recurring element of his production, treated in a quasi-futurist manner, convergence and explosion of dynamic lines and brilliant colors, a true "trait d'union" between tradition, emotional intensity, and compositional dynamism.
