Alessandro Parrini was born in Rufina (Fi) in 1949, impressionistic artist known for his work...plein-air. With tenacity, the artist follows the steps of the great Masters and friend, Robert Smorti, to look for that post-impressionism macchiaiolo that is congenial to him until he will go back out with inventive, of new forms and images, to make them an instrument of culture and prestige. He was the 1st Prize winner of the Painting Extempore in 1999 to the Foro Boario of Borgo San Lorenzo. Alessandro Parrini and his paintings are well known in Mugello, Valdisieve and in Valdichiana, where he mostly operates and in the whole Tuscany from which he takes inspiration for his better works. His paintings with fairy-tale colours of the flowers and of the landscapes and of the panoramic old streets keep his painting clear and clean that the people like and follow him with admiration. Moreover, Alessandro Parrini's paintings overstepped Italian borders and today can be found in private English, Austrian, and American collections. This success confirmed that his painting is appreciated as it simply is: narrative, illustrative, with its warm colours guided by his masterly hand, growed up with time and experience, under the guide of a great and careful "maestro" (teacher) that succeeded in changing a pupil into a great painter. |
