VALERIO BETTA - Carnival Masks

… Valerio Betta prefers the fund sandblasted and winter atmosphere where everything is charged with emotion warming figures: his paintings become synthesis of intimacy and involvement. Those are the favorite valley and the lake but also small scenes environment and vases of flowers. Repeated tributes to the colorful carnival Vagolino and its extraordinary people. Betta portrays them as vortices of color, turning enchanted of joy. The human figure remains always at the center of attention even when the brush slips on the details of the landscape.
