Artist Statement

Doménico CV Talarico’s paintings are strongly influenced by the nostalgic and sometimes melancholic beauty of the first half of the 20th century. His portraits are all based on real people from the period. They varnished through time, what’s left of them is the photographic remain. Talarico questions the fragility of identity as it fades through time. He uses these photographs and revives people from different decades by placing them in new fictive arrangements, which he presents in series.

His style takes inspiration from the era of French Art Deco and combines it with a contemporary and reduce form of modern portraiture to build a bridge between the past and the present.

Talarico’s artworks are shown in numerous exhibitions across Europe, they are part of private collections in Vienna, Paris and Brussels among other places. He is a part of the Enter Art Foundation in Berlin and founder of the Goldstaub Collective.
