MARINE ARABESKS
Karam Sebastiano Cannarella paints a changing aquatic horizon, discovering a knowledge that glimpses, listens to the silences and perceives its secrets immersed in a liquid stillness of harmony, in a marine world.
Marine arabesks
He paints the wonders of the sea, allowing himself to be guided by his own instinct towards the revelation of the abysses of the sea and of that universe of water where the artist immerses himself through the vibrant visitation of the soul enveloped in the shimmering spectacle of nature, where the non-place of perception expands into infinity and the essence of things appear in all their aesthetic value. A world, this one, not flat and uniform, but vibrant like a soul in full chromatic effervescence. He approaches this world with respect and love and, in his extreme sensitivity on the far edge of imagination, the world of the abysses appears like a breath of invisible poetry; veil after veil the ethereal image of water resonates in the rarefaction of aesthetic beauty, in that lyrical oscillation of shoals of darting fish, immersed in the fluctuation of the waves, which immediately becomes intense and solar. While the artist approaches the marine environment with the joy of discovering its colourful appearances, he manifests in his works an ever renewed spiritual tension, which leads him to immerse himself in the spaces he portrays and go beyond them to reach a personal interpretation of the elements belonging to the aquatic world. He depicts a rigorous repetition of fish that manifest the ability to perceive the multiple manifestations of life within nature.

Magically in the surface of each canvas, the creative flow begins to flow, like a wave of colour, immense expanses of aquatic elements rise to the surface with their barely noticeable shapes, through which one perceives a balanced order underlying a chaos, through which the artist recounts the real aquatic world, highlighting the attraction of its peculiarities, representing the changing sensations deriving from its lights, its colours, but above all from its unstoppable movements. With water works rich in colour and imbued with atmosphere, he depicts a world, ‘his world’ free without boundaries. This world from which emerges the authentic sense of the sea, which by the artist’s hand appears rich in extraordinary scenery, arouses astonishment and wonder in the observer. In almost all the works, the chromatic transport of light and the intensity of the violent, material, brilliant, luminous colours, layered in a mellow material capable of emanating strength, bursting through the undulating forms that float to create an open spatiality. It depicts forms that emanate a particular fascination between the hidden beauty of nature and the artist’s consciousness that invites the exploration of something profound, a personal manifestation of thought in the presence of simple things that at the same time lives through art revealing its lyrical strength and singular predisposition to enchantment and emotional involvement.
