Antonietta Bartoli

It is always under the banner of amazement to encounter the pictorial poetics of Reggio Emilia artist Oscar Piovosi, who accompanies us in the vision of the ever-changing motions of the human soul. In the atmospheres of his works, life is there, behind fragile walls of sky, in the gaze always turned toward infinity, while thoughts emerge from a perspective of life in color. The artist presents himself as an explorer, delving into dream dimensions.
Over the years, Oscar Piovosi has enriched his language through several series of works characterized by an unmistakable authorship, which is to be found in the continuous seduction of travel. A deep, intimate "travel," a careful observation on what stimulates his sensibility. The evocative tonal atmospheres are the backdrop to situations and states of the soul, journeys into memory, psychological introspections stopped in time, suggesting moments of life as if he wanted to fix time at the very moment he observes the unfolding of things.
