Novella Parigini - Floral Composition

Both in terms of the subject matter and the execution method, this painting reveals a certain naive attitude on the part of the artist. The artist's desire to achieve a childishness in the representation is evident, with the aim of conveying the artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence.

Novella Parigini's aim is to offer a simplified interpretation of reality, seeking new values ​​of purity in representation. This is expressed through a fluid technique that resolves the subjects with a few, quick but incisive strokes. This particular technique gives the figures an ethereal consistency, almost as if they were vaporous and ephemeral apparitions. The use of a purplish-black background also contributes to this effect, allowing the chromatic nuances to stand out more, thus accentuating the fusion between the subject and the space in which they interact.

The figure of Novella Parigini (1921-1993) differs markedly from the conventional naïve artist, who is typically a social outcast, if not outright marginalized. Parigini's life, however, is characterized precisely by the high society of her experiences, both in Rome and Paris. And it is in this sense, then, that her pursuit of pure and simple formal values ​​in her artistic career should be interpreted. First and foremost, the hedonism typical of the Sienese aristocracy from which Parigini descended comes into play, making painting a game in itself, a playful exercise to be practiced with a refined and fascinating childishness. But art, for Parigini, is also a reflection of her free, unconventional life: hence her desire to pursue pure aesthetic canons that break all ties with the past.
