THE
LEGENDARY WORLD OF CAMUNI PEOPLE COMES TO LIFE THANKS TO
GIUSEPPE PIOVANELLI’S ART WORKS
By Giovanni Falcetta
Piovanelli’s painting draws its most intimate inspiration from
the prehistoric rock engraving from Camonica Valley, but it is
the way this reality is represented by the artist the most
amazing and impressive aspect. The fabulous and mysterious
prehistoric Camuni’s world comes to life in a dreamlike
experience bearing a deep emotive participation as if the
artist wishes to create a link, a “continuum” between past and
present, between legend and history. The artist seems to fight
against the silence of the rocks and the dumb graffiti and
tries to instil a new vital breath in them by surrounding
himself in a magic essential and strongly poetic atmosphere.
The figures are naturally created in a phantasmagoria of
colours. They appear every now and then as spurs of stylized
real human shapes and rocks in spite of a mere informal,
abstract play. Signs of a human context are visible, they are
surrounded by a polychrome and fluid space, in a metaphysical
eternal dimension.
