Enrico Minguzzi

Enrico Minguzzi approaches his subjects through a process reminiscent of phenomenological observation, which he then deconstructs and transforms to achieve greater formal fluidity. His work relies heavily on manual skill, gestural intuition, and technical precision. As a painter, he constructs his visions through the careful layering of glazes and thin, transparent applications of pigment, creating compositions that explore mutation and metamorphosis until a dynamic balance is reached, blurring the boundaries between figuration and abstraction. Operating on the edge of these two modes, Minguzzi’s vividly figurative works often emerge from largely abstract or informal coloristic foundations rather than direct observation or photographic references. He has also experimented with digital methods, producing images on iPad and printing them in limited editions on fine art paper. His landscapes are drawn from memory, reconstructing places he has lived, visited, or imagined. Elements of the unreal and artificial are ever-present, whether in multiple simultaneous light sources or the interplay of day and night. Contrasting brushstrokes—thick and expressive alongside precise, detailed passages—combine with layered transparencies, creating immersive landscapes where materiality and perception interweave. ...
