- Pio Serafini was born in 1951 in Ascoli Piceno, he is an architect, musician and painter. It is so in the deepest sense of the term because, in addition to often choosing the Piceno territory as the favorite subject of his work, it is also the repository of a typically Ascoli pictorial tradition: together with an evident influence of the best French post-impressionist painting, from Cezanne to Chagall, Serafini's work follows the footsteps of the illustrious Ascoli painters Dino Ferrari and Ernesto Ercolani, the starting point for a highly original internal deformation of the visual element. The research on environments, typically silent and devoid of human presence, is always an internal research, which tilts the urban agglomerations and the fields, the mountains and the skies, as if the wave of memory and memories were breaking on reality itself, bending it , making its contours and distinctive features evanescent. The color, which captures and drags the gaze into the composition, is also expressive, often anti-naturalistic, with tones that are now bright and now dark, capable of condensing the light in the volumes of the subjects represented: the Marche landscapes, with the countryside that becomes tapestries composed of the "fabrics" of different crops, but also the city of Ascoli, with its typical immobile and solitary towers like metaphysical finds; and then the animals of the still alive peasant tradition, among which the rooster stands out, a recurring element of its production, treated in an almost futuristic way, convergence and explosion of dynamic lines and bright colours, a true "trait d'union" between tradition, intensity emotional and compositional dynamism.
