Arturo Cappè

From the melancholy and solitude of a day with no escape emerges the psychedelic journey — in the true etymological sense of the Greek psykhḗ-délos, meaning “to make the soul visible” — of Arturo Cappè, born on September 10, 1986.

After all, how can one not think of starting again from oneself, if not through the intrinsic human process of seeking what is already present everywhere — within and without? From this drive comes an artistic exploration rooted in the raw essence of a lover of heights, raised amid the vertiginous landscapes of the Apuan Alps. Here unfolds a primal sense of image-making: a vision of reality filtered through the condition of an eternal child-wild-sage, capable of projecting a perspective that transcends time.

The images conceived and created by Mr. Cappè seem to embody the same spirit that infused artists like Ligabue or Van Gogh — a fervent exaltation of life, in all its facets: tragic, joyful, despicable, hidden, or as evident as the June sun over a field of flowers on the verge of being cut.

His technique is raw, yet driven by an unconscious compositional precision that bridges the ancient tribal instinct with the structured logic of modern visual language — whether in landscapes or critical still lifes. His work thus becomes a timeless path for viewers, tracing the human journey from early pictographs to the visual culture of contemporary media.

Without over-sweetening this narrative pill, we invite you to return to the act of seeing. As Aldous Huxley paraphrasing William Blake might say: perceive through images that care little for chronology, and instead speak directly to the heart in the language of symbols.
