"MEMORIES" Painting

The two strands that I have chosen to express myself are those of the portrait and the nude, given the innate tendency to draw, I scrutinize the female body and imprint nudes or portraits on the works, which are the transposition of diversified states of mind. I admire the body and shapes, and I depict women who often adore their bodies and show it off. I use material backgrounds, more specifically sandy, with some inserts of stucco and plaster to feel the material, the earth, and therefore remember where it comes from. I also insert sheets of newspapers and fabrics and fragments of jute cloth, which signify our daily life, where all of us are involved.
The artistic world of Marco Rubiero is very complex with his very accurate and effective figures of women and portraits. The artist scrutinizes the female body and imprints nudes on the works which are the transposition of diversified moods. Attentive and scrupulous in drawing, in this solo exhibition he relies heavily on eros and the women depicted are not just "thinking" people, but those who often admire their own bodies or show off their shapes. With Marco Rubiero's portraits, however, we witness a gap with respect to adherence to truth and the physiognomic canon, the representation of a concrete subject turns towards the ideal. The woman portrayed, with gray tones and purple veins of movement, is an adolescent beauty whose sense of wonder and purity are anchored in everyday life. The lines of the face, the somatic features suggest softness to contact and his identity seems malleable. It lends itself to encounter and transformation but seems cultured before this happens. Finally, the sandblasting of the support introduces the physicality of the earth, a feminine element, a metaphor of the body, of the life cycle.
