Paintings | Drawings

"Faces marred and chiseled, with intense gazes that seize you and never let go. Expressively crafted countenances that convey suffering but also hope, life in all its violence and beauty. The human figure haunts Antonio Veronese's paintings, an obsessive motif he unfolds from one canvas to the next... 'The face is inexhaustible,' the artist appreciates, 'I have opened Pandora's box.' The painter's palette transitions between tender pastel and soft tones, or more vibrant when red and yellow explode onto the canvas. Veronese spent a long time working alongside imprisoned children, from which he retained a rare ability to capture the essence of humanity!"
