Federico Alfano's Paintings

Award-winning artist Federico Alfano was born in 1933 in Naples. He has received praise throughout his lengthy career as a professional artist for his capacity to freeze time and depict human emotions in his works. Whether his people are in a bustling flea market on an Italian street or on a fashionable avenue in Paris, Alfano captures the excitement of life in their expressions. The artist places a great value on the embodiment of female beauty, which is why his works frequently include pictures of opulent Italian ladies. As intended by the artist, they need to be seen as collective, abstract representations of ladies bearing valuable presents from the Italian homeland rather than as portraits.

Leading reviewers laud and love the calibre of his paintings because of his attention to detail, which makes each of his masterpieces distinctive and unforgettable. The National Catalog of Italian Modern Art, "Mercato dell'Arte" in Turin, and "Il Novecento in Naples between art and the market" have all displayed his work. Federico Alfano obtains significant acclaim from both the French and Italian publics, despite receiving several honours, particularly in the south, and magazines. He achieved considerable renown and gained recognition in the American market thanks to exhibitions at the "Gallerie La Colline" and "Gallerie du Village" in Paris. The artwork of Neapolitan painter Alfano has a distinctively Neapolitan aesthetic, focusing on the priceless and slightly romantic aspects of a beautiful and endearing world that thrives in the most tranquil and steady season in the constantly bright light in the chiaroscuro, soft and at times dazzling.

The scenes are painted in the traditional Neapolitan "manner" and feature fishermen, peasants, shepherds with sheep, people drinking wine, baskets, tubs, fish, and flowers. Some of the scenes also feature fallen nobility models who are clearly carrying signs of their fortune, as well as silver, elegant fruit plates, lace napkins, and iridescent velvet rugs. A vibrant and musical environment "transfers" the real world into a surreal and magical one. Federico Alfano's painting, which draws inspiration from Neapolitan heritage, exemplifies the high level of craftmanship and the expressive lyrical graphic language. However, in his most recent works, he shows a capacity for psychological reflection and is able to depict the existential experiences that are a part of our world.
