“Spontaneity in taking and not re-taking means dynamic creation of dynamic observation.
In such a way, his “vision”, the result of movement observation, is grabbed on the painting
as a stuck reality moment”. “not many brush stroke to realize a painting. You can observe a bunch of colors,
Used with precision and style. His aim is to realize an “immediate vision”, an “urgent idea”
….. and a stain is rapidly transformed in a landscape or in a human enjoyable depiction.”
Franco Santamato
“ because Patruno is a painter of atmospheres. He is able to make things alive even without the aid of figures. He is essentially a figurative painter but he is attracted by the predominant fascination of colors.
Matter, generating with rapid and blurred stains, at first glance, an autonomous result of impressionist flavor”
Gustavo Delgado
“…….three-dimensional paintings for an introspective journey”
Alessandra Arcella
(Art Historian)
“…… To fix an impression of what is happening during the rapid events flow in the shortest space of time, is my first aim.”
