In the art exhibition at Palazzo Ruzzini, titled Six in Venice, from April 18 to Nov. 24, 2024, the artist: NICOLA DIPINTO Born in 1992 and raised in Cerignola, Nicola Dipinto graduated in Laboratory Techniques and in 2018 moved to Milan, where he began working. His passion for art, particularly portraiture, manifested itself from an early age, but it was only when he moved to the Lombard metropolis that he decided to devote time and energy to cultivating it. As a self-taught artist, he embarked on a creative path that started with digital processing on a photographic basis and gradually evolved towards the creation of figures, in which manual skills became the central element of his works. The transition from digital to painting on canvas, with the use of brushes and acrylics, marks a change in his artistic practice. His focus is on the expression of the feelings conveyed by the subjects represented, leaving room for free interpretation as the leitmotif of his creations. The narration of emotions, through the different nuances of colours and techniques, allows Dipinto to reach an artistic maturity that also leads him to experiment with oil on canvas. This technique, which is more flexible and permissive than acrylic, allows him to further explore the interplay of tones and to liberate the feelings of his subjects with greater intensity.Among the works on display, Bubble scream forcefully addresses the theme of violated childhood and the consequences of conflicts on the most vulnerable. The teddy bear, depicted as a universal symbol of lost innocence and interrupted lives, recalls the trauma and loneliness of so many children forced to live in contexts of violence and war. Next to the bear, a human figure forcefully blows into a balloon, an emblematic gesture of the silent attempt to release accumulated pain, representing the unheard cries that risk exploding without ever finding a voice. Completing the composition, a half-destroyed pillar, a mute symbol of suffering, evokes the physical and emotional rubble left behind by conflict. Dipinto's visual language, rich in symbolism and sensitivity, makes each work an experience that involves the viewer, opening up spaces for introspection and dialogue on fundamental themes of the human condition.
