Guido Odierna - Terrace overlooking the sea

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Guido Odierna's style presents a perfect fusion of realism and a delicate, impressionistic rendering of sensory details. On the one hand, the artist precisely describes the view in all its details, with a strong sense of reality and the lyricism of his views of Capri and the Amalfi Coast. On the other, his refined painting technique allows him to convey a sense of immediacy to the canvas, thanks to rapid brushstrokes charged with atmospheric vibrations. Light thus reflects on objects, but without interfering with the precise description of reality. The entire view is thus characterized by a clear luminosity that is revealed, by contrast, in the play of shadows. The use of a palette of soft, delicate colors also serves this purpose.

Guido Odierna was born in Capri in 1913 and passed away in Naples in 1991. He studied at the Royal Academy of Naples, as well as in the studios of Michele Federico and Konstantin Ivanovich Gorbatov. Guido lived in Capri, running his own art gallery in the summer with his family, and in the winter at his other art gallery in Rome, where he exhibited and sold his works alongside other artists he represented. Throughout his career, he exhibited in 35 solo exhibitions in Rome, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Biella, Vercelli, Catania, and Trieste, as well as in numerous group exhibitions in France and the United States.
