ABOUT THE ARTWORK

VIDEO link : https://youtu.be/f1qQImt4Vz4 Masks have always been an important feature of the Venetian carnival. Traditionally people were allowed to wear them between the festival of Santo Stefano (St. Stephen's Day, December 26) and the start of the carnival season at midnight of Shrove Tuesday. As masks were also allowed on Ascension and from October 5 to Christmas, people could spend a large portion of the year in disguise. Maskmakers (mascherari) enjoyed a special position in society, with their own laws and their own guild. Venetian masks can be made of leather, porcelain or using the original glass technique. The original masks were rather simple in design, decoration, and often had a symbolic and practical function. Nowadays, most of them are made with the application of gesso and gold leaf and are all hand-painted using natural feathers and gems to decorate.

"Always choose the work that transmits sensitivity or sensations to you and remember that ART is always and everywhere interpretation." INTERVIEW: 1 ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs1ugetuyP8 2 ) 3 ) Architect. Since 1985 he is trained in the plastic arts at the Academy of Miguel Perez Macias where he develops Drawing and Painting with references from the Italian Renaissance and French Impressionism. He later implements the Pen technique in his Drawings. Like the great Masters. Approaching the countries of this Artist's Painting may amount to the most prodigious of adventures. Undertaken in the first place by his overflowing imagination, immediately encoded by a series of numbered visions, in which Venice and motherhood, in addition expressive photographs and impressive nudes find a preponderant place, and that have their most immediate justification and their most complete explanation in those same other paintings, small and in secondary appearances, which complete and notably enrich the main composition. Marco Ortolan reveals himself as what he is, a first-rate painter, a heir, sure and confident and of the first line, of the plastic goods of the Italian Renaissance, to which he repeatedly alludes, and not only for compositional reasons. , but in search of the cleanest roots of his art, so deepened and expanded that also his work, his own, concludes to be taken as born in In the mid-sixteenth century, and in that privileged place, Venice, whose waters continue to flow, perennially, and without ever interrupting the vitality of its creative ebb. Venice, and within it, several works of art born in different latitudes of that Italy always astonishing when it comes to measuring the capacity and great quality of its various and important static currents throughout so many centuries, which nevertheless achieve the true miracle that this current is constantly renewed and fresh, so much so that the same Marco Ortolan's work seems to emanate from it, not an attitude of respect and great aesthetic understanding, two of the greatest virtues of what this young Architect and Painter, insofar as he takes to the canvas.
