Carlo Mattioli, born in 1911 in Modena, was a renowned Italian painter.
In 1970, his first anthological exhibition was organized in Parma, which was later also shown in Carrara. In the 1970s, he continued to explore new forms of expression, focusing on the representation of nature and emotions. He made paintings of beaches, poppy fields, lavender and broom, experimenting with a wide range of painting techniques and using different colors to convey evocative atmospheres.
In the 1980s, while many Italian artists focused on social issues, Carlo Mattioli's poetics remained true to his personal worldview. His paintings express awe at the beauty of nature and the existential restlessness of human beings. During this period, he made a striking series of paintings inspired by the Aigues Mortes, which explore the boundary between the organic and the inorganic, life and death. He also began to paint tender portraits of his granddaughter Anna, creating works that look like a fictional fairy tale invented to engage the child in discovering the world.
