Oscar Cirio (Wilde)

Oscar Cirio was born in Udine in 1959 and currently resides between Flumignano and Torlano of Nimis (UD) NorthEast Italy.
Already from the age of seven years draweth near to the world of creativity through modeling, where he was able to figure out the proportions and fields of color needed to make the models created by him
as close as possible to reality.
Then is passionate about the geometric depth study of lights, shadows and perspectives , associating it also to his great interest addressed
the study of color , harmonies and various color combinations that will be tested extensively when Cirio will begin to engage in figurinismo .
Principiata this new experience Cirio began studying the history of costume from 500, years in which
born the first military uniforms .
When the decoration of its shapes Cirio enter the light
zenith (ie light that comes from above ) by increasing , by doing so , the effect of light and dark tones .
Refined this passion participates in competitions figurinismo in Trieste , Udine and San Daniele and outside the region, over the years " 97-98-99 " . Of these shares have been issued by various juries special mentions .
Because of the work that absorbs much of his time , Oscar needs an artistic new to give vent to his creativity , the model takes too much time and deteriorates the view,
thus overcomes the painting of all artistic expressions and the artist began , about 10 years ago, to propose, through a figurative language , his emotions and his life experiences.
Particularly fond of all the contemporary artists such as : Afro Basaldella , De Chirico, Dali and the current metaphysical current of American abstract expressionism .
His research is directed purely on color and color scheme and the new challenge is to seek the maximum expression of a color before it changes and enter into other colors.
Emblematic square in its initial path with the theme: boats on the sea, landscapes and flowers, small experiments that
eventually dropped because it feels too tied to the form . Oscar is now mature and prepared to enter the informal world , also because it reflects the personal urgency to take advantage of the time given to him , this extremely artistic expression helps the artist to capture the thoughts of the moment suggellandoli ibernandoli the canvas and carefully prepared .
The glazing technique , used by the author , provides a series of actions designed to be erected in order to obtain the desired result, he almost always starts from the white color reaching step by step
tint desired color , with the use of synthetic thinners Cirio undoes the color well to continue his journey in the world of experimentation.
The use of the spatula as well as what helps him , due to gravitation between colors , dominating the softness of the color that weaves with the other colors independently.
During the making of his paintings , the artist falls into a deep state of rapture and thanks to this state of personal idyll , brushes and spatula seem to be animated by a life of its own .
In addition to testing the technique of painting with the use of oil paint , acrylic on canvas or canvas board , spread with brush or spatula , Oscar enters its cultural legacies in his paintings , of
Therefore what we see is not just the result of a well-made framework , with well-chosen color combinations and overtones , but if we look carefully we can see the trend of color
Celtic Rune positive life ( they are the author's missive that wishes us good positive life expectancy ) .
Runes are the secret language of the world, Rune means secret , whisper .
In the beginning they were passed down orally and were inexhaustible source of power , possibilities and suggestions.
The symbols of the Runes speak of the life of every day, and were engraved on tablets of wood or pebbles and shells.
The wizards and witches , throwing them to the ground, they drew the auspices .
In total, the Runes are 24 and one is without a name.
They are potent symbols of power, the X ( " Gebo " which means gift ) for example is the Rune of friendship, hope and love of the promises made ​​, Oscar also use the Rune Nauthiz , representing the hidden fears and the ' anxiety of the future.
Through the insertion of the Runes in the works the artist enters the geometric design, so dear to him , but he moved a meaning much deeper and not random .
In a much more concealed than the Rune , appear in the works of Cirio also the esoteric Masonic symbols that accompany the good and bad of human history , the artist lives in a very personal way these entries and charge them a mystery fascinating and very personal in their combinations.
Passionate about history of man's origin , genetics , draweth near and tries to appear in his paintings also the suffering of the people.
Currently the favorite colors ranging from orange to burgundy and his research is particularly directed onto the luminescence
of color .
The use of cool colors instead sees him engaged in the use of pure color and not combined with other colors.
Overly concerned and linked to the history of the discoveries of man as : The constellation of Orion, is the emblematic painting dedicated to this constellation. Orion is in Greek mythology
that Latin was a giant hunter who was placed by the father of the gods among the stars to form the constellation of the same name , in which are associated with rock carvings that tell the everyday life of their authors and touch the magic of the population of Atlantis.
Through this framework we hear the important pillars of culture and human history , themes so dear to the artist and always present in his work .
Thanks to the informal works of Cirio , the securities of which conceal and route to a reading and openness towards the culture in general, is originated in us a profound curiosity and invariably we are invited to go deeper into the knowledge of his being an artist , is certainly not always easy to decipher or decrypt the message associated with them , but with a minimum of effort and curiosity to introduce us and we will be able to be absorbed by the world of Oscar
and who shyly tiptoed comes forward, to be accepted , understood, and unquestionably appreciated.
