Christian Carlini

Among the major contemporary Italian artists, Christian Carlini (1981) is known internationally for having revolutionized the phenomenon "hyperrealism". He has exhibited his works in the most prestigious international art galleries, from Positano to Padua, from London to Den Haag , from Moscow to Andorra.

Self-taught, the artist has always shown his pictorial ability. Start by studying art history and pictorial techniques of the past, paying particular attention to Flemish and hyper-realistic works, this does not distance him from his extreme admiration that he places in the character of S. Dalì.

In the early years he spent more time studying painting than in his practical execution, he wants to break the chromatic rules of hyperrealism by bringing it into the world of high chromatic definition represented by the current 4K HDR screens. His obsession with deep and brilliant colors, with a higher dynamic range than the classic hyperrealism, led him to synthesize the compositions by removing the tops, making the lights extreme and zooming the objects represented to make them, with their colors, the only protagonists of the scene.

Tecnique

STEP 1
Design and chromatic vibration
After drawing the image I perfom the chromatic primer with alchidic and / or acrylics oil colors, very diluted, in order to obtain a multitude of small chromatic variations that will act as an influencing carpet for the subsequent drafts.

STEP 2
Painting
It’s the most important phase to give saturation and color compatibility. Make the transition with oil colors, pulling the color in order to obtain homogeneous shades and give body to it, calibrating lights and shadows for a perfect chromatic balance.

STEP 3
Glazes
I spread some coat of varnish with transparent oil paints veiling the whole painting, this passage gives the right chromatic range, strengthens the axes, the mids and the lights, giving the right atmosphere.

STEP 4
Hight chromatic definition
It is the phase that characterizes my paintings, taking as a reference the modern 4k HDR screens, I perform a final step with veiling phases with pure and brilliant oil colors and with extreme definition of the line. This phase brings the painting to an exaggerated level of saturation and brilliance, making it modern, contemporary and technological. Finish by applying two coats of brilliant final varnish to bring out the whole.
