Roberto Cafarotti - Nature

“Nature”, 2026, Roberto Cafarotti, oil on canvas 50x40 cm

In a domestic interior that suddenly opens onto the cosmos, Nature builds a single living organism in which man, nature, and the universe coexist without hierarchies.

On the left a greenish being emerges from the trunk of a cactus, while a green horse-serpent wraps around a large sundial: human time and Earth time fuse. In the center a figure in a yellow suit and straw hat gently holds a branch of greens, a gesture of care and belonging. On the right a naked woman, wrapped only in a yellow drape, watches the starry night, a bridge between the intimacy of the home and the infinite.

On the green table, pumpkins, a globe, and a small plant rest together, as offerings at a single banquet. The flowered armchair and the everyday furniture are not separated from the nocturnal landscape: the Moon and the planet enter the room, and the room enters the sky.

Everything dialogues. Nothing is alien. Man does not dominate nature nor is he separated from it: he is part of the same breath, of the same matter, of the same mystery. In this “tutto’uno” that coexists, I painted in my contemporary Mannerist style not a contrast, but an ancient and modern harmony, where the domestic and the cosmic, the vegetal and the human, time and the eternal finally recognize themselves as a single nature.
