Turin-based artist Francesco Pirazzi creates dreamlike paintings featuring simple architectural elements, trees, and walkways that emit an ethereal glow. Pirazzi describes his work as an attempt to capture an enigma that he perceives in reality, a feeling that something is “slightly off” before our eyes. By employing deep shadows, minimalist archways, and luminescent clouds, Pirazzi combines bold colors in his compositions, which often depict recurring subjects such as trees, street lamps, houses, windows, and hedges.
Deep shadows and illumination create hierarchies between elements and emphasize the relationships that intertwine them, while Pirazzi highlights both visible and unseen aspects of his subjects. His artwork explores the intersection of reality and the unknown, drawing attention to the mysterious details that often go unnoticed. Starting October 28, Pirazzi’s paintings will be exhibited at Luce Gallery in Turin, and you can see more of his work on his Instagram.
