About this artwork
New York City – Broadway
That’s why sampled realism: with an overview, the paintings seem to seek realism, but with a closer look, we notice all shortcomings marked by the sharp contrast between a curve and another.
Unlike hyperrealism that was marked by the maniacal details, in every way exaggerated, the Sampled Realism stands in contrast where it tends to deliberately leave out details and aims to lose information. These gaps represent not just… the shortcomings of our lives, but at the same time give us the opportunity to build a new reality reformulated on our knowledge and experience.

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.
