Description
“From the portraits to the crowds crammed on ships, Molinario thus succeeds in tracing a unified narrative, a kind of emotional map of contemporary man’s interior routes, where each painting corresponds to a surface traversed by tensions and anxieties that condense into indelible figures—difficult to forget. All of Molinario’s work is situated in a dimension where art is never experienced as a closed language obeying rigid formal codes, but as an imaginative activity acting from a direct relationship with reality: that collective reality of History and the individual reality of the inner dimension. Thus, his work restores to painting the function of a device capable of translating memories, impressions, and experiences into images. Unequivocal, forceful figures that the artist projects into a stripped‑down visual field, reduced to the essential”. (Ivan Quaroni)
