L'AURORA Painting

Sensitive artist Carlo Tornese, aka Cartès, since 1994, the year in which he stands out for his harmonious compositions in the solo exhibition in Capua entitled "The Ballad of the Golds" linked to his first fairy tale. His art, perhaps born from an essential need to tell his poetic emotions, felt in the presence of Nature. Artistic high school diploma and degree in architecture as well as art history teacher, he worked in Murano (VE) in the design and creation of wall and table clocks. His training, however, is mainly due to his authentic and innate passion for imagination and the art he cultivated since he was a child. Moderately extroverted, certainly also due to the daily impact with our materialistic world, he is equally animated by his need to translate into images the visions that have fascinated him and which he translates into his fairy tales. Cézanne's famous phrase could be referred to his painting, characterized first by clarism and then by a lyrical expressionism: "first feel, then paint". In his tables, as in his paintings, and last but not least his dials for wall clocks, what stands out is the emotion, linked to the message that the work wants to convey, which from the depicted subject is transmitted to the spectator, creating each time a new relationship between observed subject and observer. Sensibile artista Carlo Tornese, in arte Cartès, dal 1994, anno in cui si fa notare per le sue armoniose composizioni nella personale a Capua dal titolo "La ballata degli Ori" legata alla sua prima fiaba. Arte, la sua, nata forse da un’imprescindibile necessità di raccontare le sue emozioni poetiche, provate a cospetto della Natura. Maturità artistica e laurea in architettura nonché insegnante di Storia dell'Arte, ha lavorato a Murano (VE) nella progettazione e realizzazione di orologi da parete e da tavolo, la sua formazione si deve però, maggiormente, alla sua autentica ed innata passione per la fantasia e l'arte che coltivava fin da bambino. Moderatamente estroverso, sicuramente anche per il quotidiano impatto col nostro mondo materialista, è altrettanto animato da quel suo bisogno di rendere in immagini le visioni che lo hanno affascinato e che rende nelle sue fiabe. Alla sua pittura, improntata prima al chiarismo e poi ad un lirico espressionismo, si potrebbe riferire la famosa frase di Cézanne: “prima sentire, poi dipingere”.
