About this artwork
This is first pice of a collection called “streetmood2k17”. I’m using as reference for my paintings, some photos made by myself in New York and some photos selected among Instagram users with whom I’ve established a kind of relationship. The goal is to paint the people in the street from different places of the world. Different human races, different skin.
I would like to show the contrast of the “real” life in the streets told “virtually” by social… networks. Two tracks that run in parallel, but overlap in people’s lives.
As usual I paint with the technic/style of what I call “sampled realism” (sampledrealism.org).
I used for this painting spray paint for background, acrylic for the buildings and oil for portrait.

« The paintings seem to aim for realism, but upon closer look we notice every deviation marked by the sharp contrast from one element to another. »
Marco Barberio is an established Italian painter who has exhibited his work internationally, including in Spain, Australia and the UK. Having cultivated a firm passion for art and creativity from a young age, he has worked as an art director as well as in web development and entrepreneurship alongside his artistic practice. Barberio's paintings primarily balance the dualism of realist forms and conceptual symbols, a style he describes as 'sampled realism.' His works ultimately offer each viewer the opportunity to contemplate the metaphors present in modern digital life, layering colors and curves to raise questions about loss, knowledge and reality.
