Pasquale Vuotto (1958) - Riflessi a Posillipo Napoli

Original painting. Oil on canvas, complete with the artist's brochure.
Pasquale Vuotto is a contemporary Italian painter and poet, born in Naples in 1958. He is particularly esteemed in the Neapolitan art scene for his ability to capture the soul of Campania's marine landscapes.
Artistic journey
The early passion: He begins to paint at the age of just 10, driven by innate talent.
The training: He takes his first steps as a self-taught artist, guided by a strong creative instinct. Subsequently, to refine technique, he attends the art studios of masters D'Urso and Ciardo, achieving an excellent technical maturity.
The philosophy: Vuotto has never sought wealth or fame for art's sake; rather, a sense of deep personal and spiritual fulfillment. In his works, painting often blends with poetry, conveying a sense of meditation.
Style and subjects
The painting "from life": About 90% of his production is devoted to his beloved Naples and the nearby coastal towns. Since he was a boy he loves painting en plein air (from life).
Themes: He is famous especially for his seascapes, fishing villages (such as Ischia, Pozzuoli, Sorrento and Positano), coves, and the iconic fishing boats moored, just like those visible [in] pasquale-vuotto.
Critics sometimes compare his chromatic sensibility to that of the Post-Impressionists or the Macchiaioli. He uses oil colors to give extraordinary depth and a sense of movement to the water and sky, capturing particular hours of the day such as dawns, sunsets, or gloomy days.
Awards: In addition to being a reference point in Italian art galleries, his works have crossed national borders, being exhibited and collected abroad, particularly in the United States, England, and Germany.
