Description : Veduta di Portofino

Acrylic on canvas. Signed in the bottom right corner. On the back of the painting there is a further signature with authentication and a label of the art gallery Portofino with information on the artwork. Luigi Rocca was born in Udine but he soon moved to Turin, where he completed his education. He became popular when he was only sixteen years old thanks to local and regional exhibitions. He favored portraiture but was also interested in landscape painting. His style is hyperrealistic, he aims towards a perfect depiction of reality. He was fascinated by the United States, therefore he dedicated a big part of his work painting street views of the big American cities, mainly New York. This painting is a gorgeous view of Portofino, where he has worked collaborating with the Gallery S. Giorgio since 1997. He also portrays luxurious cars with extreme realism: no emotional participation of the artist can be perceived. In 1998 he participated to the Art Expo in New York; he is present in numerous italian and international shows and exhibitions. In 1996 the artist moved to Venice where he lives and displays his artworks in Melori & Rosenberg Gallery in Campo del Ghetto Nuovo. Since October 2007 his works can be found also in New York in Arnot Galleries, 57th Street.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
