The IX Festival della Cultura Moriago della Battaglia hosts “Geometrie infuocate” (Fiery Geometries), an exhibition of paintings by Paolo Favaro, set up in the Carlo Conte Room of the Casa del Musichiere (Via Manzoni 2) and which will be inaugurated on Saturday, February 7, at 5:00 p.m. with a presentation by the well-known art critic Lorena Gava. The exhibition, which will then be open until March 1, brings together a series of new works created specifically for the event in Moriago.
In detail, Favaro’s painting is a declared hymn to color, joy, and chromatic intoxication. Geometric shapes move and intersect on undefined spaces saturated with bright, magnetic, and hypnotic tones, giving rise to veritable explosions of light in which the frenzy of yellow, red, and orange dialogues with sidereal blues and intense greens. The compositional rhythm follows a dynamic interplay, rich in visual tension and surprises, capable of capturing the gaze and drawing the viewer into a continuous vortex of energy, imagination, and fantasy.
The Carlo Conte Room thus changes its appearance and becomes a field of equal and opposite chromatic forces, in which triangles, rectangles, and lunettes meet and move away from each other on the canvas, reflecting the artist’s soul, in perpetual flux and constantly searching for unexpected emotional states. Paolo Favaro’s paintings powerfully convey character, instinctiveness, and an inexhaustible will to live, even in the face of adversity. All this is expressed in a personal yet universal symbolic language that echoes Kandinsky’s teachings, leading to new discoveries and expressive achievements.
Paolo Favaro’s works are striking for their immediate power and their ability to transform geometry into pure emotion – says Gava. Color is never a simple aesthetic choice, but becomes living matter, energy that crosses the surface and engages the viewer’s gaze. In “Geometrie infuocate” (Fiery Geometries), painting becomes a sensory experience, a journey into an unstable and vital equilibrium in which each form dialogues with the other in a continuous play of tensions and harmonies that reflects the intensity of Favaro’s human and artistic journey.
