Born in
Rome,
Italian painter Dario Campanile started to sketch as a very young child. At the age of six, his talent for art was encouraged with the gift of a small set of
watercolors from an uncle, himself a painter. When he was 14, Campanile was bedridden with a kidney ailment for three months, and his father gave him his first oil paints to cheer him up. As soon as he began to work with them, there was a sense of familiarity of being able to easily express himself in this medium. This experience influenced him profoundly to continue with his art.

Trattato della Pittura - Parte prima /8
Se tu sprezzerai la pittura, la quale è sola imitatrice di tutte le opere evidenti di
natura, per certo tu sprezzerai una sottile invenzione, la quale con filosofica e sottile speculazione considera tutte le qualità delle forme: mare, siti, piante, animali, erbe,
fiori, le quali sono cinte di ombra e lume. E veramente questa è scienza e legittima figlia di
natura, perché la pittura è partorita da essa
natura; ma per dir più corretto, diremo nipote di natura, perché tutte le cose evidenti sono state partorite dalla
natura, dalle quali cose è nata la pittura. Adunque rettamente la chiameremo nipote di essa
natura e parente d'Iddio.

Il pittore è padrone di tutte le cose che possono cadere in pensiero all'uomo, perciocché s'egli ha desiderio di vedere bellezze che lo innamorino, egli è signore di generarle, e se vuol vedere cose mostruose che spaventino, o che sieno buffonesche e risibili, o veramente compassionevoli, ei n'è signore e creatore.

La pittura serve a piú degno senso che la
poesia, e fa con piú verità le
figure delle opere di natura che il
poeta, e sono molto piú degne le opere di natura che le parole, che sono opere dell'uomo; perché tal proporzione è dalle opere degli uomini a quelle della natura, qual è quella ch'è dall'uomo a Dio. Adunque è piú degna cosa l'imitar le cose di natura, che sono le vere similitudini in fatto, che con parole imitare i fatti e le parole degli uomini.

Non vede la immaginazione cotal eccellenza qual vede l'occhio, perché l'occhio riceve le specie, ovvero similitudini degli obietti, e li dà all'impressiva, e da essa impressiva al senso comune, e lí è giudicata. Ma la immaginazione non esce fuori da esso senso comune, se non in quanto essa va alla memoria, e lí ferma e lí muore, se la cosa immaginata non è di molta eccellenza. Ed in questo caso si ritrova la poesia nella mente, ovvero immaginativa del poeta, il quale finge le medesime cose del pittore, per le quali finzioni egli vuole equipararsi ad esso pittore, ma invero ei n'è molto remoto, come di sopra è dimostrato.

Sotto la pioggia camminava la primavera
con i suoi piedi esili e lunghi sull'asfalto di Mosca
chiusa tra gli pneumatici i motori le stoffe le pelli
il mio cardiogramma era pessimo quel giorno
quel che si attende verrà in un'ora inattesa
verrà tutto da solo
senza condurre con sè
coloro che già partirono
suonavano il primo concerto di Čajkovskij sotto la pioggia

"Nel tuo sonno, al limite dei sogni,
aspetto guardando in silenzio il tuo viso,
come la stella del mattino che appare per prima
alla tua finestra.
Con i miei occhi berrò' il primo sorriso
che, come un germoglio, sboccerà'
sulle tue labbra semiaperte.
Il mio desiderio e' solo questo..."

Così per la lor via vanno le stelle,
incomprese, immutabili!
Tu, mentre noi ci dibattiamo in vincoli,
di luce in luce ascendi.
Tu, la cui vita è tutta di splendore!
E se dalle mie tenebre
devo tendere a te braccia nostalgiche
sorridi e non m'intendi.

Андрей Задорин is an
Belarusian painter. In the same way that words are used to create a narrative, Zadorine uses visual images to create atmospheric feeling. His work is directly addressing the soul. Poetic and
romantic, Zadorine appeals to the viewer by illustrating the vulnerable and precious
nature of the human soul.
Memory (
particularly drawn from childhood) and the acceptance of the irreversibility of human life are strong underlying currents that drive much of his work. This requires the viewer's time and attention removed from intellectual enquiry to allow an experience rather than a sensation of his work to manifest.
