Contemplation In Thought

Capicotto has mastered the use of complimentary colours to make exquisite colour palettes in his paintings. Here, the contrast between the soft blues and vivid reds creates a beautiful sense of depth, made possible through the artist’s purposeful and expressive brushstrokes. Though there are many bright colours in this piece, one can’t help but draw their eyes back to the main subject of the piece, an elegant woman clad in white. The thick impasto around her helps to frame her silhouette, allowing her to stand out and be the main point of interest for the viewer.
