Questa opera d'arte presenta una scena surreale e incantevole all'interno di una foresta meticolosamente dettagliata. La composizione è immediatamente accattivante, con alberi alti e snelli che si estendono verso l'alto, i cui rami si intrecciano per formare una chioma intricata. L'artista impiega abilmente un'armoniosa miscela di verdi e blu, creando un'atmosfera tranquilla ma ultraterrena. In mezzo a questo bosco verdeggiante, si dispiega uno straordinario fenomeno: pesci vivaci, raffigurati con vivaci tonalità di rosso, giallo e blu, sembrano fluttuare senza sforzo tra gli alberi. Queste creature acquatiche, solitamente confinate nell'acqua, sono sospese nell'aria, nuotando tra i rami come in un balletto acquatico. La loro presenza introduce una qualità stravagante e onirica nella scena, sfidando la percezione della realtà da parte dell'osservatore. Il contrasto tra la rigida struttura degli alberi e i movimenti fluidi dei pesci è sorprendente. L'attenzione dell'artista per i dettagli è evidente negli intricati motivi delle squame dei pesci e nella consistenza della corteccia degli alberi. Questa giustapposizione di elementi di terra e mare evoca un senso di magia e meraviglia. Lo sfondo rivela una fitta foresta che si allontana in un orizzonte morbido e nebbioso, accrescendo ulteriormente la profondità e la complessità della scena. Questa opera d'arte invita l'osservatore a esplorare un mondo fantastico in cui i confini tra i diversi regni sono sfumati, offrendo una prospettiva unica che è sia stimolante che visivamente deliziosa.

Presentation
ANTONIO PRESTI
TURIN, Italy •
Artist (Painting, Sculpture) •
Born in 1950 •
I had my first solo exhibition at the age of 18 in 1969 in Caltanissetta in Sicily, where I was born. I have exhibited in the most beautiful cities in Italy including: Agrigento, Caltanissetta (1969.71), Palermo (1971), Naples (Castel dell'Ovo 2016), Rome (2015), Macerata (1970), L'Aquila (1971). ), Rimini (2006), Spoleto (1975), Bologna (Artefiera 1993), Sanremo, Cuneo (1977, 1980), where I lived from 1979 to 2015, Ferrara (2013) and Turin (2013), where I I have been installed since 2015. I have also exhibited abroad:
Hawaii in 2007, in France in Chouze sur Loire, at the Château des Reaux Museum (permanent work), and in Paris (performance in 2014).
For me, painting is an investigation, a therapy and an outlet: I have tried different painting techniques and different materials to search for the balance and perfection that I have not yet found.
For many years my favorite theme has been the Tree to which I have devoted different cycles. "Antonio Presti's long, meditated and measured pictorial itinerary is identified with a revisited naturalism, with a meticulous search for the values of color and material, with a figuration linked to a vision of reality...." ( Angelo Mistrangelo). The great Monregais dialect poet Remigio Bertolino describes my recent art well in the presentation of my personal exhibition at the Ceramics Museum of Mondovì in 2014: “His images which seem to arise from a source of dreams and archetypal forms, images of a great emotional impact, transmit to the user "visions" of high poetry..."
