Gianma's portrait Painting

Interesting and highly personal, from the iconographic point of view, is the path of Néstor Ferronato. From the first works, essentially figurative, he arrives at that dynamic conception typical of futurism in which everything merges and divides, interpenetrates with other parts, turns into simultaneous visions, composed of surreal particles. While not giving up figuration, the Italian-Argentine artist Nestor Ferronato uses the fragment to make everything, the detail - endowed with a life of its own - intertwines with other independent details: an image in the image, idea in the idea. In his recent works, even the colours become more vivid, more decisive and more detailed, marking the line of demarcation, without second thoughts, between one figure and another, between one subject and another, between one symbol and another. Yes, because "symbolism" is the ultimate figure of this painter, used to propose strong themes, but offered to the viewer through a formal and colouristic lightness. To explain it with the words of Klee, Ferronato's works remind us that the man is half a prisoner and half winged.
