Title: TRISTE
size 40x50 cm
oil on panel technique
year 2015
I started portraying my uncle Giovanni's dogs and I realized that I wanted to overcome another obstacle, that of appearance.
Petit gascogne saintongeois are wild boar hunting dogs and are bred and raised for that purpose. I chose to paint these dogs precisely because I wanted them to look beyond appearances: with different eyes I caught their character, I stopped their exuberance, laziness and shyness, their elegance in facing me ...
in this work I portrayed Nobile in a moment of sadness, maybe he didn't want me to photograph him, he couldn't stand it anymore since that day I didn't stop chasing him to take some pictures which I then used to make his portrait
I use very diluted oil color which I then put on the painting as it dries, to obtain transparency effects and transform the underlying color to my liking.
To conquer this particular technique and get the results I want, it has taken many years of experiments that are not finished yet. Like the time I wanted to get a very smooth and slippery surface on which to spread the oil colors, precisely in glazing ... But instead of using the usual glue I spread a paint suitable for repainting and so I managed to get an effect that I like very very much!
