Paolo Terdich

Through the representation of a “Surreal Realism”, which is sublimated in the cycle dedicated to water, my aim is to propose paintings that, for compositional dynamism and chromatic vivacity, communicate infinite sensations of movement, freedom, quiet, suspension. The prevalent use of the color blue, as a symbol of tranquility and harmony, contributes to the emotional balance generated by these works, while transmitting serenity and relaxation.

In these works I leverage my expressiveness to realize, through the visible, the experience of the invisible. This is how I try, with rather complex and challenging compositions, the rendering of water, the story of the sparkle of light on a surface perpetually in motion. Water, the main protagonist of the narrative, merges with the human figure, dressing it with new life. Immersed in the transparent liquid, whose symbolic component has its roots in the sacredness of baptism, purification, rebirth, transformation, reflection, the human figure is lost in it, letting the water distort its contours, mixing with it and almost becoming part of it. My transparencies explore the possibilities of the perception of reality, and the field of the visible thus becomes the space of vision and color. Water then becomes a container of light, a territory of vision, a mysterious narration of inner conflicts.
