Claudio Giulianelli
Claudio Giulianelli is a Roman artist who have done many major exhibitions in different parts of world and been in biennales. Most of his pictures, represent feminine subjects. They are mixture of reality and imagination, dream and mystic, memories and symbolism. These paintings have elements of Impressionism, Symbolism and Surrealism. His strong passion for art (in particular for the ancient one) led him to deepen the technique and study of painting through a careful observation of the works of the Masters together with the reading of texts of pictorial technique. Claudio despises the part of world where hypocrisy, chaos and confusion seems to predominate over good. Therefore he finds home in his own universe, a place where he experiences mystery and fascination. These paintings seem to express about the contemporary human behaviour and conditions. It looks like they suggest a sweet and quiet period of hybernation, opposing reality in order to discover peace and serenity.
Paintings of Claudio
The message that this artist
seems to convey is one of regaining the true dimension of the existence through
history and ourselves. The inspiration to the antique represents for this
artist the opportunity to free his mind and create images that cast themselves
to a new time of revolution in graphics.
Claudio Giulianelli was born in
Rome on September 23rd, 1956 He lives and works in a very small town of
Etruscan origin named Corchiano, located near Rome. Since childhood he used to
draw masks, jesters and clowns. He was obsessed with clowns. The dames in his
paintings represents nature. They are drawn as beautiful and
imposing. Shelooks upon the observer as if a queen. Whereas he draws the man as
small figure like a puppet in the hands of nature. The man or puppet tries hard
to define nature to understand her. But it is a hopeless task, a heroic task.
