Ciro Rubinacci - Pino Daniele

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

Ciro Rubinacci interprets the portrait genre according to a very classical concept, based on a perfect, photographic, almost hyperrealistic reproduction of the subject. This is due, first and foremost, to the artist's extraordinary technique, capable of transposing the chosen subject onto the work down to the smallest facial detail. A perfect reproduction, but not hyperrealistic, because Ciro Rubinacci's pictorial style is nevertheless vibrant, managing to transcend the cold objectivity typical of hyperrealism. Thus, the representation, while absolutely faithful to the subject, is tempered into an interpretation that is nonetheless alive, even in the evocative monochrome choice of black and white.

Ciro Rubinacci is best known as a theater set designer, owner of the eponymous company renowned for its many productions. He is, therefore, an artist with excellent technical training, which he also developed into the production of paintings, especially portraits.
