Francesco Toraldo
Francesco Toraldo started to show interest in painting after spending some time in his father’s, Enzo, studio as he was also a painter and taught his son the basic principles and elements of art. He took inspiration from the past century artists borrowing both the chromatisms of the “fauve” painting and the attention to the visual and figurative details which were typical of the Post War German Expressionism.

Figures just mentioned and shaken by jazz musicians, naked and sporting women, are fading on the canvas between neurotic signs and violent strokes of spatula, antithetical between primary colors and color effects. A technical contrast in pictures results in harmony and that allows me to mark shapes with intense expressive charge.
…The Its depictions of wind-driven sails of jazz musicians, naked female bodies, have the simplicity and immediacy of signs of a painting that seems to come directly from the color without the need for a preparatory drawing. Only the color looks then allowed to open all the sensitive horizons of his vision .. Vittorio Sgarbi
All the colors of passion … The painting by Francesco Toraldo has the curious distinction of beingmodern and at the same time being able to contain within itself someof key events that have shaped the history of the twentieth century dell¹arte .If the blue enamel of the heavens , the deep reds that are the background to the iconsjazz , the blades of yellow, the bright green strokes speak of asensitivity for color decisively Fauve , the racing cyclists groups.
