Scissione 2019

"Scissione," a 2019 oil painting by Italian artist Roberto Ferri, depicts a bald, middle-aged man with a thick beard, leaning against a wall. The man's muscular, bare back and shoulders, illuminated by a soft light, are starkly contrasted by the deep shadows of the background. Ferri's masterful use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic and melancholic atmosphere. The man's intense gaze, focused on a point beyond the frame, leaves the viewer contemplating the complex emotions of the subject. Ferri's painting is a powerful example of contemporary realism.
