Luciano Carini
Pietro Cardone is an artist who is swimming against the current; his work is modern, contemporary, free and authentic. In a historical moment dominated by digital photography and video art, the artist offers a real return to painting, naturalistic vision and the description of reality.
His paintings explore beautiful flowers in all the splendor of their colors which become a true hymn to life and beauty.
The beholder will notice not only technical skills in the artist's works, but also the feeling and emotion that are clearly visible in his insistence on details, when his gaze becomes a macro lens of a camera and focuses on a single petal, leaf or bud.
Through his paintings you feel Cardone's love for nature and its extraordinary beauty. Only at this point does one perfectly understand its capacity to be truly "new" and "contemporary".
