Cromatica. Abstract composition, original oil painting
sold by federico cortese
An original piece from the series “Chromatic”, oil on cardboard, 40 x 40 cm, 2021.
The artists are often attached to a particular theme or compositional scheme, till the point that it almost becomes an obsession, their personal and unmistakable signature. On a closer inspection, what counts in these schemes is the possibility, or possibilities, of generating variants. I believe that the artist is precisely attracted to the investigation of these variants, and the exploration of the limit to which one can go in their alteration. And if there are many variables involved in this game, the possibilities of creating variations become almost infinite. I believe that unconsciously, this creative process is also gratifying because it allows us to invent an illusory order, where the chaos of reality can create confusion. One could almost speak of a "collector's syndrome", except that in this case, the artist, not only, as in a collection of butterflies or stamps, always searches for new specimens and this research is never satisfied, but he even creates "specimens” by himself!
The painting is signed, and finished with a protective varnish (transparent mastic paint) against the damages of sunlight and dust. A Certificate of Authenticity is included, with signature of the artist on photograph. The painting is shipped in a cardboard box.
FAQs & Polices
Do you accept orders placed outside of the US?
I have always accepted and shipped orders outside Italy (US,EU, China, Brasil, Corea, Australia, etc...), and the shipping is always worldwide free!
How long will it take to receive my order?
Here in Italy the bureaucratic requirements for the export of works of art can vary according to the country of destination. Depending on this the execution of an order may take from two to 12 days.
Packaging
I have sold my works on several online galleries (saatchiart, zatista, artfinder, etc). Each painting is finished with a coat of UV varnish to protect against sunlight and dust. The canvases are painted on the sides too, so they are ready to hang. My sold works are never rolled but always packed flat. I put them between two sheets of acid free paper with paper or cardboard protection for the corners, than close in a plastic envelope. The envelope is stiffen with a sheet of polystyrene on both sides, and the whole thing is completed with layers of cardboard. The package is also protected with bubble packaging inside. When sold, the artwork is shipped in 2/12 days after receiving the payment. All my artworks are original unique paintings, signed. The certificate of Authenticity is always included.
Torino, Italy
To paint has always been the thing that gives a reason in my life. At a certain point of it I understood that it was impossible for me to smother this propensity, in favor of some more profitable job, and this is why I decided to try to make it a possible job, despite all difficulties and lack of money! In a certain sense, this era of uncertainty and change that we all are living, allows us to try to change the lack of security into an opportunity, being always open to accept what can come.
