Shadow of street (2018) Painting by Leonardo Arieti

I have always had a love for drawing and painting. Since 2010 I have decided to undertake this career combined with that of restoration. I prefer the seascape, the urban and the nude; my style prefers stylized shapes and reinterpreted silhouettes, with cold and soft colors sometimes close to clear ones to create greater chromatic contrast. Both in the figures and in the landscapes I search for the essential of what I am painting by focusing on chromatism and on how to create movement through colour. My favorite technique is washed watercolor, used wet-on-wet or in layers, but I also use oil, charcoal, pastel, acrylic, not forgetting the mixed technique. In the field of restoration I deal with small jobs of gilding and silvering, ceramics, marble, crystal, wood. Surface and color imitation, cleaning of paintings and restoration of damaged surfaces.
