Giacinto Occhionero

Occhionero’s paintings describe naturalistic and imagined atmospheres. Paintings are created in a process of reverse painting on plexiglas. The artist says: “At a certain point I got rid of the canvas completely. My perfectionist attitude kept me from ever being altogether satisfied, because having the canvas to work on permitted you to impose additional elements. Back-painted plexi saturated itself with color and, when that happens, it’s finished.
