Piermarino Zippitelli - Departing Thoughts

The subject can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

Piermarino Zippitelli is a painter of reality, consistently so both in his choice of subjects and their interpretation. Indeed, the artist selects almost casual situations, pure moments of everyday existence. There is no idealizing filter, and this intent is also reflected in the composition. The scene is photographically cut, with a diagonal framing, as if a hastily taken snapshot. All this further enhances the truthfulness and spontaneity of the depiction. Finally, even on a formal level, the use of white lines to outline the subjects and the application of color in broad, dense brushstrokes make the image even more vivid.

Piermarino Zippitelli is an artist originally from Bari. He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in scenography. He is the director of Zippitelli ADV and Creativiassociati and has collaborated with companies such as Swatch, Tissot, and Music Store Ricordi. He has served as an exhibition design consultant both in Italy and abroad, in prestigious locations such as Rome, Milan, London, Zurich, Lugano, and New York. He has also taught Marketing at the Faculty of Communication Sciences in Bari.
