Carlo Paleari

I paint out of necessity, I couldn't do without it.

I paint my countryside, my nature, the one I see and look for as soon as I can escape the city, the nature that welcomes me and in which I grew up.

I love when my gaze is lost in the thousand furrows of the ploughs, when it caresses the blonde ears swaying in the fields or is enchanted by the thousand reflections of a pond.

The shapes are born, as if by magic, among the shades of color, on the canvas... the superimposed colors are revealed by scratches and incisions, framed, to create a defined space, almost an ideal window, to which to look out

October 2023 2* place at the 37th edition of the Emilio Gola Prize

September 2023 I am invited and participate in the collective exhibition "Una Luce d'Arte" in Clusone

The actual artistic process began in 2001 by winning a competition in a small town in Brianza with "Bad cats". In the following years I exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Milan and its surroundings and in some Ligurian towns to which I am particularly attached.

In 2004 "Toro rosso" was published in the international furniture magazine "Kitchen" and in 2005 with the painting "Passerotti a San Francesco" I was noticed (and mentioned in the catalog of the "Saronno en plein air" exhibition) by the critic Arnaldo Fontana; I also win a silver medal in a national competition with "Betulle".

In the following years I exhibit in various solo and group exhibitions and participate in numerous competitions, where I receive various mentions and awards.

Of those years, also the mention at the National Prize "Artemisia 2006" and at the National Painting Competition "Legnano Arte" in 2007.
