BERNARDO PERUTA was born in Bergamo in 1973, from an early age he showed an innate passion for art that led him to attend the Castellini School of Plastic Arts in Como.
In 1997 he attended the studio of an established portraitist, where he studied in deep the technique of oil painting and perfected an impeccable stylistic ability, which today we can find in his artworks. From 2004 to 2006 he moved to Nice, where he opened his own studio and exhibited his artworks for the first time in a personal exhibition. Since 2007 he has been invited to exhibit in personal and group exhibitions in Belgium, France, Germany and in the United States.
According to Peruta, the real world is full of nuances: language, images and events can be changeable. His artistic philosophy embraces the use of a unique combination of modern materials and traditional painting technique making his art both innovative and classic at the same time. Micro-perforated panels on which he paints with shades of color, creating a unique and immediately recognizable stylistic trait.
This particular technique allows Peruta to space out the surveys of light and shadow, which he brings to multiple levels, creating an unusual optical effect, determining an indefinite space, the only place where reality can perhaps be understood. The chromatic contrasts play an important role in Peruta’s artistic conception, creating a dynamic effect that enables the observer to approach the artwork from different points of view, a concept that Peruta also embraces on a metaphorical level, where reality cannot be outlined in a simple frame, but changes according to the point of view from which it is approached.
In his artworks there is a suffused air that involves the entire scene, the images are never static, there is depth, allusions, the space is charged and incisive, suspended in intense and dreamlike moments, legible in the faces of his figures. Iridescent figures, who in a relativist vision, are changing from various points of view. The intimate reading of the artwork emerges through various elements that make up the figures, such as the glazes or the decomposition of some details, the reverberations that interrupt the detail, which aim to grasp the essence beyond the representation.
Bernardo Peruta’s art challenges our perception of reality in an age in which the distinction between real and virtual becomes increasingly relative. Currently the artist lives and works in Bergamo where he continues his research.
