Artwork location: Brazil

This artwork is a masterful depiction of a serene and lush countryside landscape, executed with a remarkable precision and an eye for vibrant detail. Central to the piece is a quaint, white plaster house, which is surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens and a variety of trees, each rendered in exquisite detail with a spectrum of green, pink, purple, and yellow tones. The house is nestled amongst rolling hills that stretch into the distance, creating a sense of tranquility and idyllic seclusion. The composition is carefully structured, guiding the viewer's eye from the white house, through the luxuriant foliage, to a gently flowing river in the foreground. The river reflects the surrounding greenery and adds a soothing, reflective quality to the scene. The artist's technique in capturing the interplay of light and shadow is noteworthy, as it imparts a three-dimensional feel to the trees and hills, enhancing the vividness of the landscape. Moreover, the attention to detail is acute; every tree is distinct, showcasing an array of textures and shades that signify a thriving and diverse ecosystem. The contrast between the brightly colored foliage and the serene blue of the river creates a harmonious balance, making the image both arresting and calming. A subtle but significant aspect of the artwork is the sense of movement it conveys. The gentle curves of the hills and the winding path leading to the house suggest a journey or a passage through this peaceful haven. The use of brightly colored flowers and varied tree types implies a celebration of nature's abundance and resilience. In essence, this painting is more than just a landscape; it is an evocative representation of nature's splendor, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its serene beauty and find solace in its vibrant, yet calming, embrace. The judicious use of color, light, and meticulous detail underscore the artist's deep appreciation for the natural world, resulting in a work that is both mesmerizing and profoundly reassuring.

Imagine it at home

Francisco Severino, La maison blanche
Brazil  • 1952

Presentation

Living in São Paulo since 1972, he gave up his job as a metalworker in São Bernardo do Campo to devote himself to the plastic arts in 1975, as a self-taught artist and with the support of his friend and colleague Rodolpho Tamanini Netto.

That same year, he took part in his first group show, at Galerie Alpendre, in São Paulo, and three years later held his first solo exhibition at Galerie d'Art de l'Alliance Française, also in São Paulo, followed by others in Rio de Janeiro, Descoberto (MG), Santos (SP) and SãoJoao de Nepomuceno (MG). 

In São Paulo, he frequently exhibits at Galerie Jacques Ardiès. His group shows abroad include exhibitions at Galerie Naïfs do Monde Entier in Paris, Brésil Naïfs, at Galerie 4 in La Défense, Paris, Brazilian Naive Art, a touring exhibition in 40 American cities, among others. 

On the occasion of his solo show at Galerie Jacques Ardiès, in 2006, art critic Oscar d'Ambrosio wrote: "His great achievement is his way of working with green, with variations of his own, of who is aware that painting, much more than a subject, is a way of developing a thought through colors and forms.

What impresses me about his paintings is the blend of technical purity with a heavenly feeling, as if time stood still for him to paint his rather rural images, created by his own work with fundamental details".
