About The Artwork

The realistic painting "Sailing" skillfully captures the burning energy and palpable adrenaline of an open sea match race. Executed using the spray paint technique on canvas, the artwork exudes a sense of ceaseless movement and overwhelming power, transporting viewers into a world of intense action and fierce competition. The main scene of the painting depicts a sailboat weaving through the waves with wild grace. The attention to detail is astonishing: every single thread of the sails appears taut to the extreme, capturing the inherent tension in every moment of the match race. Spectators can almost feel the strain of the oars and the rhythmic motion as the crew works in harmony to control every aspect of the boat. The choice of colors imparts vitality to the artwork. The deep blue hues of the sea blend with the foamy white of the waves, creating a captivating contrast. Sprays of foam on the sides of the boat add a touch of realism, evoking the sound of the wind blowing through the sails and the rustle of the water breaking against the hull. These details contribute to immersing the viewer in a dimension of multisensory sensations.

Marco Barberio, 1971 Italy. During his life, he has always cultivated a passion for art and creativity, even without attending specialized schools. He spent his adolescence in the 80s, painting with the myth of American graffiti and pop art. In the 90s he was in the middle of the digital revolution and the birth of the Internet. Thanks to entrepreneurial intuition, the predisposition to new technologies and love for art, he founded a web company with the role of art director. In his US travels, he definitively consolidates the metropolitan subjects for his realistic paintings with references to pop icons. I call my artistic process “sampled realism”. The sampled realism is a way to translate an abstract idea, a state of mind of the real world and of everyday life, into an artistic representation, aiming to find a correct balancing between science and art. Environments, metropolitan landscapes, streets and places are just opportunity to freeze the sigh of an instant, the perfect moment. The urban landscapes into the pictorial “shots” are not just scenography, but moments of suspension, of losses of reference points. Spatiality as an element of the story is meant as an active agent of a tale. Are early stories, beginning of a movie, still images that narrate episodes within spaces defined by frames. Time is frozen and tension inert, while the action seems “off-screen”, in another world. The pictorial is made, being in the digital age, with the technique of sampling. The classic example of sampling is given by the world of music: the sound wave of an instrument played live is perceived as a signal “continuous”. When a sound is “captured” digitally, occurs a sampling process where the information of that signal is stored with a certain frequency. In this way, the continuous analogue signal becomes a digital signal discontinuously, apparently with some shortcomings. But this new digital signal, that can be stored in some way, is perceived exactly like the real analogue. In the digital era, much of the reality we live tends to be “sampled” and trapped in electronic devices. Similarly, in sampled realism the image is made with a process of simplification of the colours, a “sampling”. In this perspective, the colours are not mixed but become splashes, curves between which there are no shades. Just as it is in topography with the level curves, or in tomography, where the three-dimensional rendering of the body is given by samples in layers.
