Les couleurs sont des radiations électromagnétiques réfléchies par des surfaces éclairées qui, à travers les yeux, stimulent le système nerveux et sont converties par le cerveau en sensations réelles et concrètes. L'histoire des sources de couleurs se perd dans la nuit des temps. Les pigments à base de substances minérales sont utilisés depuis la préhistoire : la craie, l'ocre, dans des teintes allant du rouge clair au jaune clair. Les peintures rupestres du Paléolithique supérieur montrent des noirs obtenus à partir de dioxyde de manganèse ou de charbon de bois, et plus rarement des terres vertes, de l'oxyde de manganèse brun, et exceptionnellement du violet de manganèse.

À partir du Néolithique, la gamme des minéraux utilisés pour la peinture et la céramique s’élargit, et diverses teintures d'origine végétale ou animale sont créées pour colorer les tissus, telles que le rouge garance, le bleu indigo, le bleu pastel, et le jaune réséda.

Les Égyptiens furent les premiers à se consacrer à la préparation des couleurs pour la peinture. La "fritte égyptienne" ou "bleu égyptien", obtenue par la cuisson à 800-900 degrés d’un mélange précis de chaux, d’oxyde de cuivre et de quartz, et ensuite broyée, est le plus ancien pigment synthétique. Un autre pigment synthétique est l’antimoniure de plomb, connu depuis le XVIIe siècle sous le nom de "jaune de Naples", produit à partir d’oxyde de plomb ou de carbonate de plomb et d’oxyde d’antimoine. Certains pigments créés il y a environ 4000-5000 ans sont restés fondamentaux jusqu'au XVIIIe-XIXe siècle, comme le blanc de plomb, essentiel en peinture jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Les pigments utilisés au Moyen Âge étaient hérités de l’Antiquité. Le minium et le cinabre étaient les deux couleurs de base du Haut Moyen Âge (comme dans les enluminures), accompagnés de feuilles d'or obtenues par martelage de pièces de monnaie. À la même époque, un nouveau pigment apparaît : le bleu outremer, produit à partir de lapis-lazuli importé d'Afghanistan, s’ajoutant à l'azurite utilisée auparavant. La fusion de ces pigments permettait de produire différentes nuances selon le degré de broyage.

Les peintres médiévaux utilisaient abondamment des substances organiques : les teintures bleu indigo et bleu pastel, auxquelles ils ajoutaient le lac de cramoisi et le lac rouge.

Presentation

Davide Vinattieri, aka VIDA', Tuscan painter, intuitive, self-taught.

The art of VIDA' is expressed through a personal search for color..

Every element found in nature is for the artist an inspiration source and raw material to dig out a multitude of colors and unexplored shades to rele- ase on the wood.

Following the ancient experience of natural color extraction, VIDA' reco- gnizes himself in the abstract expressio- nism techniques: the artist paints hori- zontally without a preliminary composi- tional design, letting himself be carried away by his soul's deep impulses.

This is how VIDA's paintings are crea- ted, as chromatic storms and tumul- tuous interior expression, with the no frame limit, not conceived according to the view beyond the “window", indeed with total continuity beyond those limits.

VIDA' is an alchemist painter, intere- sted in the transmutation of metals and minerals he searches for in Tuscany and finds in the world: malachite, green that gets effervescent when in contact with hydrochloric acid; cinnabar, vermilion red generated by the fusion of sulphur and mercury; azurite, the result of the altera- tion of sulphurous copper deposits from which a crystalline blue springs; orpiment, intense yellow that comes from hydrother- mal genesis and cold volcanic springs.

And then the white lead from which he extracts white or the carbonized peach stones that transform into black.

Nature offers itself to VIDA' in its primor- dial state and he transforms it by making colour!

Over 130 colours have been discove- red and classified by Vidà, all of them extracted from pigments present in nature.
