Italy) work cataloged archived at no. 98MP/24 Oil on Canvas Artist's signature on the front and on the back; Certificate of authenticity Pio Serafini was born in 1951 in Ascoli Piceno; he is an architect, musician, and painter. He is in the truest sense, because, in addition to often choosing the Piceno region as a favorite subject of his work, he also preserves a painting tradition typical of Ascoli: alongside a clear influence from the finest French post-impressionist painting, from Cezanne to Chagall, Serafini's work sits in the lineage of the illustrious Ascoli painters Dino Ferrari and Ernesto Ercolani, a starting point for an original inner deformation of the visual element. His exploration of environments, typically silent and devoid of human presence, is always an inner search, tilt­ing urban agglomerates and the countryside, the mountains and the skies, as if the wave of memory and recollection crashed onto reality itself, bending it, rendering its outlines and distinctive marks evanescent. The color, which captures and drags the gaze into the composition, is also expressive, often anti-naturalistic, with hues sometimes bright, sometimes dark, capable of condensing light into the volumes of the depicted subjects: the Marche landscapes, with villages whose fields become tapestries woven from the “fabrics” of the different crops, but also the city of Ascoli, with its typical unmoving, solitary towers standing like metaphysical relics; and then the animals of the still-living rural tradition, among which the rooster stands out, a recurring element in his output, treated in a almost futuristic manner, a convergence and explosion of dynamic lines and vivid colors, a true “trait d’union” between tradition, emotional intensity, and compositional dynamism.
