Ernesto Piccolo - Ritratto

This untitled serigraph (silkscreen) by Ernesto Piccolo dates from 1980 and represents a refined example of late 20th-century figurative expression rendered through graphic media.

Printed on high-quality Fabriano Rosaspina paper, the work combines delicate drawing with expressive color application. The composition centers on a softly modeled female figure, emerging from a richly textured environment of greens, blacks, ochres, and muted blues. The contrast between the serene, almost ethereal face and the energetic, layered background creates a poetic tension that is both intimate and contemplative.

Piccolo’s handling of the serigraph technique allows for subtle tonal transitions while preserving the gestural quality of the original image. The result is a work that feels painterly despite its graphic nature, emphasizing emotion, atmosphere, and quiet introspection.
