Alve Valdemi Del Mare (XIX-XX) - Un vaso di fiori

Valdemi del Mare, Alve (Cremona, Italy) 1885 - Barcelona 1972).
Trained in Bergamo, Milan and Rome. In 1926, he won the Gold Medal from the Ministry of Fine Arts and settled in Barcelona. He took part in contests and collective exhibitions. Individually, he usually exhibited at Sala Gaspar. He mainly cultivated floral subjects and portraits, also practicing landscape and still life. What characterizes his painting is the brilliance of color and the deftness of his palette knife strokes, and even in the Barcelona period, adapting his palette to the Mediterranean luminosity, he revealed his roots in the local landscape tradition, receiving the heritage of the great Catalan painters, giving an affinity evident in the immediacy, spontaneity, and freshness of diction in all his works. He traveled through Navarre and the Basque Country, where he had the opportunity to capture light and color, with the vastness of towns and corners across the region. He always received favorable criticism and his solo exhibitions were always notably successful; thus his work is distributed among countless collectors and followers throughout practically the entire national territory. After his death, Sala Jaimes in 1974 and Galería Meifrén in 1976 organized two anthological exhibitions of his works.
