THERE IS DEPICTED A WOMAN IN A ROCKY LANDSCAPE, WITH MOUNTAINS FORMING THE BACKGROUND OF THE VALLEY, AND A BROKEN GUITAR PLACED IN THE FOREGROUND NEXT TO THE WOMAN. CARMINE MERAVIGLIA REFLECTS ON THE CONTRADICTIONS AND CONTRASTS OF EXISTENCE: TO THE ROCKINESS OF THE MATERIAL, WHICH SYMBOLIZES THE DIFFICULTIES OF DAILY LIVING HE OPPOSES THE LIGHTNESS OF A FACELESS FEMALE FIGURE, WHICH SYMBOLIZES LOVE AND THE ARTS, BUT ALSO THE FLEETINGNESS OF BEAUTY AND ARTISTIC INSPIRATIONS. THE FRAGILITY OF THE MUSE. AS FRAGILE IS THE BEAUTY OF THE GUITAR THAT LIES BROKEN AMONG THE ROCKS. CARMINE MERAVIGLIA USES A PALETTE OF WARM COLORS SPREAD WITH FULL-BODIED, DENSE BRUSHSTROKES THAT AMPLIFY THE PLASTICITY OF THE VOLUMES AND THE DEPTH OF THE CHIAROSCURO EFFECTS, GIVING THREE-DIMENSIONALITY AND SPATIALITY TO THE SCENE. IT IS A MODERN ART PAINTING BY ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL AND ECLECTIC CONTEMPORARY PAINTERS OF THE NEAPOLITAN SCHOOL. CARMINE MERAVIGLIA, PABLO PICASSO WOULD SAY, IS ONE WHO "DOES NOT PAINT WHAT HE SEES, BUT WHAT HE FEELS, WHAT HE SAYS TO HIMSELF ABOUT WHAT HE HAS SEEN." IT IS NO COINCIDENCE THAT THE MASTERS HE LOOKS TO ARE DALÌ AND CARAVAGGIO.CARMINE MERAVIGLIA, AN ARTIST WITH A LOOSE AND DECISIVE BRUSHSTROKE, OBEYS WITH ELASTICITY HIS IMAGINATION, WHICH, TAKING ITS START FROM THOROUGH FORMAL PREMISES, UNFOLDS IN DISSONANT VARIATIONS THAT BREAK THE CONTINUITY OF EXPRESSIVE MODES. HIS PAINTINGS ARE APPRECIATED FOR IRIDESCENCES, TRANSPARENCIES OF TONES, SYMBOLS, CHIMERAS, FROM WHICH SPRING YELLOWS, ORANGES, GREENS, CHARGED BLUES, REDS, CARMINATES. AND AGAINST SUCH CHIMERICAL SCENERY, STAND UPRIGHT SILHOUETTED FIGURES LIKE POLYCHROME SCULPTURES CLOAKED IN FANTASTIC REDS OR BLUES. AN EMBLEMATIC FORM OF SURREALISM, NOT PROPERLY REFERABLE TO A SPECIFIC TYPE, AND THEREFORE DISTINCTLY PERSONAL. A PAINTER WHO CARRIES WITH HIM AN ENIGMATIC, PICTORIALLY EMBLEMATIC, SURREAL EMOTIONAL COMPONENT. A LIFE DEDICATED TO ART FROM THE AGE OF 8, THANKS TO WHICH HE LEARNS AND MAKES HIS OWN, WITH GREAT MASTERY, THE ARTISTIC TECHNIQUES. CARMINE MERAVIGLIA IS A SURREALIST-FIGURATIVE-MATERIAL PAINTER AND SCULPTOR. TALENTED, COMPLETE, CHAMELEON-LIKE, ECLECTIC, CREATIVE, IMAGINATIVE AND ORIGINAL, ABLE TO RANGE WITH SUCCESS, AUTONOMY AND PERSONALITY IN DIFFERENT ARTISTIC FIELDS INCLUDING GRAPHIC PROCESSING. HIS STYLE IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE PREPARATION AND USE OF COLORS; FOR THE JUXTAPOSITION AND THE FLUID AND HARMONIOUS TRANSITION FROM ONE COLOR TO ANOTHER; FOR THE FLUID, PERSONAL AND INNOVATIVE USE OF DRAPES. HIS BRUSHSTROKES ARE FLUID AND SOFT. THE MAIN COLORS USED IN HIS WORKS ARE RED, BLUE, YELLOW, ORANGE, LIGHT BLUE, PINK, VERONESE. IT OBTAINS THEM FROM THE PREPARATION OF PIGMENTS OR EARTHS (AS ARTISTS USED IN ANCIENT TIMES) AS THEY HAVE A MORE NATURAL AND HARMONIOUS EFFECT, IN THE FLOWING AND SOFT, ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE PASSAGE FROM ONE COLOR TO ANOTHER. THE DRAPERY, DRAWN AND PAINTED IN A FLUID AND ORIGINAL WAY, REPRESENT, TOGETHER WITH THE COLORS, THE MOVEMENT AND THE BECOMING OF THE EARTHLY AND SPIRITUAL SOUL. ALL THE WORKS CREATED BY THE MASTER CARMINE MERAVIGLIA, INCLUDING THE GRAPHIC ELABORATIONS, REPRESENT STORIES, THOUGHTS, IDEAS AND EMOTIONAL STATES THAT GO BEYOND APPEARANCES, CROSS PAIN, THE FRAGILITY OF THE HUMAN AND OF SOCIETY. THEY HAVE A BEGINNING, AN UNFOLDING, IN WHICH THEY FOLLOW A SYMBOLIC-ANALOGICAL-EMOTIONAL AND SOMETIMES EVEN LOGICAL-RATIONAL PATH, UNTIL THEY RESOLVE, AS IN A SORT OF CATHARSIS, INTO A POSITIVE, MULTIPLYING AND SALVIFIC VISION OF LIFE AND THE FUTURE, IN WHICH THE VALUES OF LIFE PREVAIL: MOTHERHOOD, SOLIDARITY, BROTHERHOOD, RESPECT, HONESTY, HARMONY AND PEACE AMONG THE PEOPLES OF THE EARTH.
