This collection of works offers a sampling of the most recurring subjects in Mirko Anesin's paintings. This artist stands out for his choice of rather traditional themes, yet they are reworked in his modern and original style. Landscapes and still lifes are essential, subjects that, based on the recording of sensory data, perfectly express the artist's perception of reality. Next comes the clown, a subject that was extremely popular among genre painters of the 1970s and 1980s. Many artists have dedicated much of their careers to depicting this theme, Romano Mussolini being a prime example. Indeed, his flamboyant makeup and colorful clothing offer painters a pretext for creating original color harmonies.

As we can see from an analysis of these paintings, Mirko Anesin's work is akin to a search for a stylistic register somewhere between Expressionism and Symbolism. Indeed, as we can see especially in the definition of landscapes and still lifes, the artist seeks a synthesis that strips the subjects of descriptive frills to focus his attention on the investigation of form. Thus, the landscape becomes a pared-down composition of lines and chromatic zones, while the still life is expressed through the simplicity of elementary geometric forms. This is a thorough investigation of reality that draws on Cézanne but also looks to Cubism for its adoption of a mechanical aesthetic. However, the choice of color brings Mirko's paintings back to a purely Expressionist dimension. The cold, purplish hues of the countryside do not reflect natural truth, but rather communicate an emotional state, a spiritual situation, as do the transparent and ethereal veils of the still life. Even the clown is depicted in a style that elegantly combines abstract and figurative elements. What prevails is the expressive power of color in an executive method that overturns the design grid.

As we can see from the analysis of these paintings, Mirko Anesin's production is similar to the search for an expressionist stylistic register, which looks to Cézanne and Cubism from a formal point of view, while drawing inspiration from Symbolism and German Expressionism as regards spirituality.
