Pasquale Vuotto (1958) - Riflessi a Cetara

Oil painting on canvas 70x50 cm signed on the front and back with a description of the place:

The work depicts a suggestive Mediterranean marine corner, presumably inspired by the Campanian coasts, featuring a cliffside village with historic buildings and warm terracotta tones. In the foreground, g lazy boats ride the calm harbor waters. On a blue boat in the foreground and on the white and yellow one a little farther away, some fishermen are busy tidying the fishing nets. The style recalls Impressionist painting and the Neapolitan Nineteenth Century, with a thick, palpable brushstroke (oil sgraffito) that gives great plasticity to the rocks, the volumes of the buildings, and the rippled movement of the water. The warm light of sunset or early morning caresses the façades of the houses and the cliff, creating a harmonious contrast with the blue, indigo and violet hues of the sea.

Pasquale Vuotto is an Italian contemporary painter and poet, born in Naples in 1958. He is particularly esteemed in the Neapolitan artistic scene for his ability to capture the soul of the marine landscapes of Campania.
artistic journey
Early passion: He began painting at the age of just 10, driven by an innate talent.
Training: He started as a self-taught artist, guided by a strong creative instinct. Subsequently, to refine his technique, he attended the art studios of masters D’Urso and Ciardo, achieving an excellent technical maturity.
Philosophy: Vuotto has never sought wealth or fame as an end in itself, but rather a sense of deep personal and spiritual fulfillment. In his works, painting often blends with poetry, imparting a sense of meditation. Style and subjects
"Pleine air" painting: About 90% of his production is devoted to his beloved Naples and the nearby coastal areas. Since he was a boy he loved painting en plein air (from life).

Favorite subjects: He is renowned especially for his marine scenes, fishing villages (such as Ischia, Pozzuoli, Sorrento and Positano), harbors and the iconic fishing boats moored, just like those visible in pasquale-vuotto.
Critics sometimes compare his chromatic sensibility to Post-Impressionist movements or the Macchiaioli. He uses oil colors to give extraordinary depth and 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.
