Spacio tempo luce | Nicola Grabiele

What appeals most about this painting is the calm and power it exudes through the use of oil paint. The intensity of the color in its simplicity and monochrome, only perceptible at first glance, is underlined by the brushwork, by the movement created by the artist's hand: time, light and space are interwoven and you can almost feel this painting. A masterful play with presence and absence, with materiality and color perception makes this oil on canvas a timeless and impressive work of art.

In the broad field of "color painting," Nicola Grabiele follows various traces - those of her own biography, those of cultural memories, those of painterly craftsmanship, those of material justice, those of trust.
Nicola Grabiele, whose paintings are created in a dialogic process of application and removal, trusts in colors - their materiality, but also their value. His paintings are windows that reveal the world and the reality of the color(s). It seems that all the movements of the artist's hand serve only the purpose of bringing the color to an intensity that corresponds to those rare moments in which people feel that space, light and time are the same and form a fleeting but nevertheless timeless unity.
