Carlo Baruffaldi - Dream

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

Artist Carlo Baruffaldi draws inspiration from a surrealist aesthetic, drawing on the historical avant-garde and Salvador Dalí in particular, for the vehemence and dynamism of his compositions. Like the Catalan master, this work by Baruffaldi is the result of a mix of free associations, combining cultural references with abstract/symbolic elements. Formally, however, Baruffaldi stands out for a more playful and entertaining naïve streak that draws him closer to Chagall, Douanier Rousseau, and even to his close friend Ligabue.

Carlo Baruffaldi (Pieve Di Salicieto Di Gualtieri, 1934) is a truly extraordinary artist, both for his wanderlust and nomadic nature, which has often taken him far from Italy, and because his works are appreciated, renowned, and collected abroad, where the most prestigious galleries compete for them. An artist with a wide-ranging and extensive experience, he can be compared to some of the greatest international masters of the 20th century, from De Chirico, with whom he shared experiences and moments of life, to the point of considering him, if not his own master, at least a constant point of reference, to Chagall and Miró, whom he met personally in Paris.
