Sergio Fiorentino
Ritratto di un Santo

2021

About the Item

"Ritratto di un Santo" (italian for "Portrait of a Saint") is a painting by the emerging painter and sculptot Sergio Fiorentino, created in 2020. Through the joint use of oil and acrylic paint, the artist gives life to give a sense of almost three-dimensional, timeless portraits of divine figures and saints. Fiorentino was born in Catania in 1973, where he also studied Fine Arts and Restoration. He has founded his studio in 2012. In his artworks, faces and bodies of water and stone rise and disappear. A contemporary classicism that sometimes flakes off. Divers, saints, twins, and portraits remain motionless, wrapped by the ultramarine blue. A beauty revealed but protected by shoals of tuna and garfish, leaves and plants, scratches, drips, and abrasions. The painting is unframed, with an overall size of 40" x 40" x 1.5". We suggest to keep all Fiorentino's paintings unframed, to best convey their three-dimensionality that is already given by the rough scratches on the canvas and the light reflection of the gold leaf - making these art works worth the name of "bi-dimensional sculptures".

  • Black on White
    By Enrico Benetta
    Located in Miami, FL
    "Black on White" is a painting created by Enrico Benetta in 2010. This piece can be hung by itself, or be considered as part of a diptych with "White on Black". The painting comes unframed, with a total dimension of 28" x 59" x 5". This piece was made with acrylic paint, gesso, and corten steel - the signature materials that Benetta has become known for. Thanks to his excellent skills, the artist uses unconventional media to create truly unique artworks, that take the viewer to an aerial, restless dimension - despite the opposite nature of those materials. Benetta's work takes the heritage of Italian industrial design and fuses it with contemporary art, giving life to unique abstract pieces that spark the attention of art lovers worldwide. He studied Fine Arts in Venice, and his work has been featured in more than 25 exhibitions in the recent years, in addition to his collaboration with brands like Hermes...
