Maurilio Colombini - Untitled

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.

Maurilio Colombini's style has a strong expressionist tendency, achieved through a vigorous use of color. In his compositions, in fact, the application of paint is fundamental, rather than the drawing, in the construction of subjects and space. In this regard, everything is uniform between space and subject, which, thanks to Maurilio Colombini's technique, achieve complete fusion and interaction. Thus, subject and space reciprocally intertwine in a harmonious blend of colors. Within this balance, however, Colombini synthesizes the objects with a few brushstrokes, sketching their forms and volumes in a concise yet powerfully expressive manner.

Maurilio Colombini was born in Piombino in 1933. He is self-taught. Although he began drawing at an early age, he never attended school. He worked in a wide variety of jobs (shop boy, sailor, carpenter), but always found time to pursue his passion: painting. Maurilio Colombini's artistic output is marked by an experimental approach that leads him to use all types of paint (oil, tempera, earth, tar, pencils, body paint) and supports (paper, car hoods, cardboard, doors, chairs, walls) in his works.
