Artist Felice Tafuri (Italian artist)

Artist Felice Tafuri 

Felice Tafuri was born in Salerno in 1939 and his most important Italian exibits include Milan, Brescia, Bologna, Trieste, Firenze, San Remo, Santa Margherita Ligure, Montecatini Terme, Chianciano, Marina di Pietrasanta, Napoli, Taranto, Bari e Salerno. His paintings are also held in private collections in Italy, Austria, the United States and Japan

He sketches directly in colour thus using his brush as a tool to compose cromatic of linear architectures. He also uses light as if it were infinitely precious, masterfully distributing it here and there in the painting, never at random, but precisely identified spots, points from which the entire composition radiates and expands. Felice constantly seeks the magical point where light and matter, space and colour converge and balance to make the work come alive. It must be added that painter captures viewers's attention in order to involve him in the creative process so as to estabilish a connection beetwen the work and the observer, just as Felice becomes deeply involved with his subjects which are almost always drawn from personal experience.
