Giuseppe Pastore transitioned from a scientific background with a degree in Physics to become a passionate painter.
Pastore's artistic journey began with acrylic on canvas, serving as a liberating escape from anxiety and a way to explore the infinite, movement, and symbolic depth. Over time, Giuseppe evolved from chaotic, spontaneous works to a more introspective approach, emphasizing oil paints and technical mastery.
His art reflects a personal quest to balance light and matter, capturing the universe’s boundless energy through vibrant, immersive compositions. His work merges rational thought with intuitive insight, aiming to evoke deep emotional and sensory experiences that bridge science and poetry.
ArtDependence (AD) How does your work reflect your view of the world right now?
Giuseppe Pastore (GP): We live in an age of information overload, where disorder is often seen as a negative aspect. I believe instead that chaos has its own logic—it can be the starting point for progress. Order may be associated with stillness, while disorder suggests movement.
AD: What role do you think art plays in connecting people today?
GP: Art today, as always, is a universal language that links peoples and individuals. In a world that is increasingly divided, the role of the artist is essential. Art unites—just like mathematics and physics, my other passions.
Giuseppe Pastore, Leggero, 2024
AD: Can you tell us the story behind your painting 'Leggero'?
GP: 'Leggero' is part of the Lux series. In this series, light plays the leading role—light that usually emerges from the background and spreads across the composition. The piece reflects my interest in the three-dimensionality of the composition, in geometries and forms. It represents a visual drift between chaos and geometric order.
AD: What message or feeling do you hope viewers take away from your art?
GP: I hope that those who observe my works are struck by the forms, the effects, the composition. The pursuit of beauty is essential. I would like a sense of wonder to emerge—a feeling that is being lost in an art world that is increasingly philosophical and less immediate. For me art is the search for beauty.
AD: What inspired you to take part in the Art to Collect project?
GP: My participation stems from the desire to make art accessible and shareable. Art to Collect represents an opportunity for me to let my visual research engage with a broader audience, creating connections between artist and collector. It’s always valuable to interact with those who appreciate art and your work.
