"Growing up, as Enrico has done, involved and helped by his father, in the harsh gym of impromptu competitions, has not passed without a trace in his evolution and his works.
They are never trivial, masters, random, which are derived from a process of synthesis and research of the essential that the painting almost "in real time" has gradually refined.
This is the way things are done, it is a process directed by him that is around, without pressure or conditioning.
An overview of his works shows a clearly identifiable thread, where those in a rather banal and perhaps simplistic way could be defined abstract forms, to a slightly more careful reading bring out naturalistic references, elements of a world that Enrico doesn’t refuse but that he rather try to make his own.
A flower with flowers, a sort of "signature" of his paintings.
Frames that become an integral part of the works, as if the contents wanted to find an escape and join the outside world.
Paintings that are born with unusual shapes, for example angular, because in that external world they know that they have to live and they want to "exploit" it to the fullest.
Gold sheets that vibrate in the light (of the outside world) and make it vibrate, making it their own
Continuities that are interrupted and fractures that are included in all of his paintings that, avoiding to be unresponsive, seem both one and three at the same time".

"The neutral tint of gray used in large fields, takes on various shades, placing itself as a motivation and answer to the short masses of intense colors, almost to justify its chromatic intensity; they are these same grays, pervaded by a sense of blue, the backdrop with a wide perspective on which hermetic and incisive lines stand out, tones that give space to the imagination, dark reds and interiors, defined forms of yellow ocher that give volume and body to the imaginary spaces nestled in the artist's canvas; he concludes with extremely ethereal passages of "Bruno Van Dick" that return to the works that disturbing presence of emotions that he proposes to express”.

"We can’t always represent the depth of ourselves with some recognizable representation or somehow linked to reality. For the artist everything is hidden behind shades of sensitive color, a study of transparencies, overlaps, apparitions / disappearances, sometimes with figures concrete sometimes far from the way we think, with few elements that can create the atmosphere of a night suspended in time.
This art focuses on an emotional journey, the delicate emotional passage of the artist who entrusts all his moods to painting and through these he makes us participate in his life.
Totally kidnapped I observe and retrace the emission of the various stages, they are enveloping and send me timid images but at the same time effective. They are essential, everything is played on various levels of color which moves shapes that are sometimes angular, agile and flexible, that softly dissolve into minimal landscapes.
As if there was a contrast between reason and instinct where the human form, barely mentioned, struggles to find space in the "outside" a conflict is evident, but the openness is there and explodes in all its vigor. In these works there is the transformation, the elaboration of the existential void that once known gives way to feeling ... more than I see I feel through nature that takes on a predominant role, the space that it occupies and its listening.
I am guided by his suggestive technique which plays with ease in tonal combinations, the cold turns in the heat, the shades and transparencies first heat the story wrapping it with poetry and enchantment and suddenly interrupt it with short marked and full marks so is the language pictorial is enriched and flourishing emphasizes us the courage and the will to expose ourselves. It is difficult to expose yourself, after all, when there is the risk of being misunderstood, but in his case it is a transparent and indispensable outburst".

Artist

“Enrico is a soul's artist: his works have the ability to open a dialogue with the deepest parts of the person. His works enter the Self, they touch it kind-heartedly, they brush against it”.

Psychologist - Psychotherapist

The italian painter Enrico Pelizzo, who was born in Terracina in 1977,
started his artistic career when he was twenty. Already in his earlier
works, which are characterized by his distinct sense of shape and color,
he expresses himself in a strong and intense way. At the same time
his works appear to be very well balanced and harmonious. His works have
an immediate appeal, but when given more time they reveal more layers
and more details to be fascinated by.
