This has always been the case—from the pencil and red chalk (sanguine) masterpieces of the great Renaissance masters, all the way to the present day.

In this brief selection, we present drawings by four artists—from the past and the present—each with distinct styles and characteristics.

Pietro Annigoni is known for having produced an extensive body of drawings, which highlight his remarkable technical skill and his sensitivity in recreating settings and figures with just a few strokes.

Giulio Ruffini also dedicated much of his practice to drawing; featured here are works spanning from the 1950s to the 1990s, depicting places where he once stayed—from the streets of Paris to views of the rolling hills.

The drawings by Elena Mutinelli—originally conceived as sketches for her sculptures of centaurs, specifically &quot;Pholus&quot; and &quot;Chiron&quot;—serve as a classic example of graphic work that extends beyond the sculpture itself, imbued with its own unique strength and poetry.

These drawings by Roshanak Khalilian are part of a series created in 2025 during a workshop at the Château de La Marthonie, in France. They are intimate works in which the artist fosters a dialogue between the piano—and its music—and the surrounding architecture."><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Drawing can be defined as the mother of all visual arts; it often transcends its role as mere preparation for a painting or sculpture, becoming a small masterpiece in its own right.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Il disegno può essere definito la madre di tutte le arti visive e spesso si scosta dall&#8217;essere solamente una preparazione per un dipinto o una scultura e diviene un piccolo capolavoro. Ciò è sempre stato così fin dai tempi passati, se pensiamo ai capolavori a matita e sanguigna dei grandi maestri rinascimentali, e via via  fino ai giorni d&#8217;oggi.</p>
<p>In questa piccola selezione vi mostriamo i disegni di quattro autori del passato e del presente con stili e caratteristiche differenti.</p>
<p><strong>Pietro Annigoni </strong>è noto per avere prodotto un corpus di disegni molto ricco , che mettevano in luce la sua grande capacità tecnica e sensibilità nel ricreare, con pochi tratti, ambienti e figure.</p>
<p>Anche <strong>Giulio Ruffini </strong>si è dedicato molto al disegno; qui ne vediamo alcuni dagli anni &#8217;50 agli anni &#8217;90 che rappresentano luoghi in cui lui ha soggiornato, dalle vie di Parigi a scorci collinari.</p>
<p>I disegni di <strong>Elena Mutinelli,</strong> nati come schizzi per le sculture, in questo caso, &#8220;Folo&#8221; e &#8220;Chirone&#8221;, per le opere dedicate ai centauri, sono l&#8217;esempio classico dell&#8217;opera grafica che va al di là della stessa opera scultorea, arricchendosi di forza e poesia proprie.</p>
<p align="LEFT">Questi disegni di <strong>Roshanak Khalilian</strong> fanno parte di un ciclo realizzato nel 2025 durante un seminario presso lo Château de La Marthonie, in Francia. Si tratta di opere intime in cui l&#8217;artista fa dialogare il pianoforte e la sua musica con l&#8217;architettura circostante.</p>

<p>This famous text is well-suited to describing the work of Asturian painter Guillermo Simon, who explores and lays bare the details and secrets of the waves and the sea, highlighting their intrinsic power.</p>
<p>It is a mighty, turbulent sea, rendered with vigorous brushstrokes and contrasting colors; a composition deliberately focused solely on the water, revealing nothing of the surrounding land.</p>
<p>This style of painting evokes the world of Abstract Expressionism and, perhaps, certain details from 17th-century seascapes, where waves overwhelm fragile vessels.</p>
<p>These depictions of the deep invite us to immerse ourselves in the waves of our own minds as well.</p>

<p>Questo famoso testo ben si presta  a  descrivere i lavori del pittore asturiano <strong>Guillermo Simon,</strong> che indaga e  sviscera dettagli e segreti  delle onde e del mare, sottolineandone la forza intriseca.</p>
<p>Un mare possente e agitato, descritto con pennellate vigorose, e contrasti coloristici; una composizione volutamente accentrata solo sulle acque che niente lascia trapelare della terra circostante.</p>
<p>Questo modo di dipingere ci riporta al mondo dell&#8217;espressionismo astratto e forse ad alcuni dettagli di marine secentesche , in cui il le onde soverchiano le fragili imbarcazioni.</p>
<p>Descrizioni di abissi che invitano ad immergerci anche tra le onde della nostra  mente.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free man, you will always cherish the sea!<br />
The sea is your mirror; you contemplate your soul<br />
In the infinite unrolling of its billows;</p>
<p>C. Baudelaire</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Representing both the idea of ​​freedom and dynamism and a confrontation with the abyss—whether real or internal—the sea has long captivated painters, who have celebrated its many facets since ancient times.</p>
<p>Here is a selection of works with a maritime theme: from <strong>Christian Koivumaa</strong>’s North Sea to <strong>Joseph Zbukvi</strong>c’s Australian beaches; from studies of waves by <strong>Tom Porta</strong> and <strong>Guillermo Simòn</strong> to <strong>Giulio Ruffini</strong>’s metaphysical vision.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You do not enjoy a city for its seven or seventy-seven wonders, but for the answer it gives to a question of yours.<br />
(Italo Calvino)</p>
<p>Perhaps we should start here—with a thought from a literary &#8220;giant&#8221;—to reflect on why the urban theme continues to fascinate painters and visual art enthusiasts alike.</p>
<p>From Canaletto’s celebrated views of Venice to Impressionist Paris, from Kirchner’s Berlin to Sironi’s Milan, city streets have spoken to us through canvases, illustrating the life of those times while simultaneously revealing the certainties or fears, anxieties and hopes of the artists communicating their worldview.</p>
<p>The city serves as a place of exploration where one can lose and rediscover oneself, unearthing answers to our questions amidst the straight or jagged lines of buildings and streetlamps.</p>
<p>Daniele Cestari, an architect by training, has made cityscapes the foundation of his artistic inquiry, yet he strips away their specific recognizability: a city is a city, and a suburban street will always evoke our own lived experiences, regardless of whether the building is actually in Ferrara or New York.</p>
<p>A domestic dimension of the urban landscape emerges in the work of Andrej Mussa, who loves to bring suburban vistas back to life—scenes where we can rediscover moments from our own past.</p>
<p>Closer to an &#8220;Impressionist&#8221; sensibility, meanwhile, are the watercolors of Joseph Zbukvic; he delights in capturing the atmosphere of the places he visits, allowing us to admire glimpses of cities across the globe. When discussing cities, one cannot overlook New York—the quintessential metropolis and an essential subject for exploration. Artists approach it in various ways: some, like Neil Douglas, analyze its architectural aspects; others, like Christian Koivumaa, are drawn to the lights of the streets and cars stalled in traffic; while others still—such as Francesca Galliani, a true New Yorker—examine the symbols and values ​​the city embodies.</p>
<p>We invite you to view a selection of works on this theme, in the hope that you will find the answer to your question.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>D’una città non godi le sette o le settantasette meraviglie, ma la risposta che dà a una tua domanda.<br />
(Italo Calvino)</p>
<p>Forse dobbiamo partire da qui, da un pensiero di un &#8220;gigante &#8221; della letteratura per riflettere sul perchè il tema urbano continui ad affascinare pittori e appassionati delle arti visive.</p>
<p>Dalle celebri vedute veneziane del Canaletto alla Parigi impressionista, dalla Berlino di Kirchner alla Milano di Sironi, le strade cittadine ci hanno parlato attraverso le tele, illustrandoci la vita di quei giorni e, allo stesso tempo, svelandoci sicurezze o paure, ansie e speranze di chi con quella tela comunicava la sua visione del mondo.</p>
<p>La città come luogo di ricerca in cui perdersi e ritrovarsi, scovando tra le linee rette o spezzate di palazzi e lampioni la riposta alle nostre domande.</p>
<p><strong>Daniele Cestari</strong>, di formazione architetto, ha eletto come base della sua ricerca proprio i paesaggi cittadini, cancellandone però la riconoscibilità: una città è un città e una strada di periferia ci riporterà sempre ad un nostro vissuto, non importa se quel edificio sia in realtà a Ferrara o a New York.</p>
<p>La dimensione domestica del paesaggio urbano si ritrova nel lavoro di <strong>Andrej Mussa</strong>, che ama riportare in vita scorci di periferie in cui ritrovare attimi del nostro passato.</p>
<p>Più vicini, invece, ad una concezione &#8220;impressionista&#8221; sono gli acquerelli di <strong>Joseph Zbukvic</strong>, che ama catturare l&#8217;atmosfera dei luoghi in cui si trova, facendoci ammirare scorci di diverse città del mondo.</p>
<p>Parlando di città non poteva mancare New York, eletta metropoli per eccellenza, e quindi soggetto con cui è imprescindibile confrontarsi: c&#8217;è chi come <strong>Neil Douglas </strong>ne analizza l&#8217;aspetto architettonico, chi come <strong>Christian Koivumaa </strong>è attratto dalle luci delle strade e delle automobili ferme nel traffico, e chi come <strong>Francesca Galliani</strong>, newyorkese d&#8217;azione ne esamina i simboli e i valori trasmessi.</p>
<p>Vi invitiamo , quindi, alla visione di alcune opere in tema sperando troviate la risposta alla vostra domanda.</p>

His passion for watercolor stems in part from the medium&apos;s inherent unpredictability; despite his excellent technical mastery, Koivumaa remains open to new possibilities, constantly seeking something different that might surprise him and enrich his experience.

He employs transparent glazes and the &quot;wet-on-wet&quot; technique, enabling him to create richly detailed works characterized by a distinctive use of light.

For a Swede who spends many months in darkness, recreating light has a beneficial—almost therapeutic—effect. We are thus invited to admire everything from the soft light of landscapes and the shimmering glow of the Aurora Borealis to the bold contrasts of city lights."><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">We are pleased to present the work of Christian Koivumaa, a Swedish watercolorist who loves depicting the landscapes and locations of his homeland.
