"In the theater of painting Butturini is still determined to paint a unique world, to open to perception the poetic density of painting; man is a well-learned poet and master but is also leading a world of values driven from the simplicity of beauty and the intimacy of vision, almost as if painting has given substance to a dreamland". (Luca Massimo Barbero) "Butturini inspirations does not love light and does not create it. The young artist from Verona could be described as regarding the presence of light as a trick, an artifice extraneous to painting.The lights in his paintings cannot be adjusted or covered over with sloping elements. For Butturini, what it is polychromatic belongs to matter. As in the most suffocated works of Soutine and Varlin, the extreme silence of his paintings is born out of the unusual and unexpected conjunction of the absence of light and the triumph of ochre, which adumbrate ‘a foggy space" (Floriano De Santi)
