From matter
to meaning.
Across the catalogue, colour gives way to cosmic forms, interwoven roots and landscapes shaped by the absence of water. Each theme offers a different way of looking at the same living universe.

Inside the artwork.
Nine digital readings of the catalogue, created from Giancarlo’s original works. Choose an experience and let the image lead.
THE PAINTING UNFOLDS
Foglia
Foglia opens into separate fields of colour and texture, then returns to the complete image. This is an interpretive digital reading of the painting.
ART IN MOTION
Sorgere di una sinfonia
The bands of Sorgere di una sinfonia move like a visual score: a browser-based interpretation paced by the painting’s own horizontal language.
ENTER THE PORTAL
Il calice
The concentric forms of Il calice become a luminous threshold, drawing the eye through rings of colour and light.
MATTER IN COLLISION
Collisioni 2
Lines and particles approach from opposite fields, collide at the centre and release the energy already present in Collisioni 2.
FOLLOW THE CONNECTIONS
Connessioni radicali
Light travels along the fine roots of Connessioni radicali, revealing a living system that expands from one point to another.
FLOW WITH THE WATER
Visioni marine 1
Visioni marine 1 becomes a shifting field of channels, reflections and gentle currents moving across the painted surface.
A FORM TRANSFORMS
Metamorfosi
The forms of Metamorfosi expand, contract and change their edges in a continuous cycle of transformation.
LIGHT AWAKENS
L’alba della vita
Points of light emerge above the curved horizon of L’alba della vita, gradually illuminating the space around them.

Art beyond the frame
Imagined worlds.
Three cinematic visual studies inspired by the colours, forms and material language of Giancarlo’s paintings. Each study is clearly distinguished from the original artwork.

A cosmic world in bloom
A cinematic visual study that carries the light, blue field and radiant structure of Il fiore cosmico into an imagined spatial environment.
Visual study inspired by the original artwork
Inside a living network
A cinematic visual study inspired by the green surface, red central vein and branching pink structure of Foglia.
Visual study inspired by the original artwork
Where colour becomes sound
A cinematic visual study that extends the horizontal chromatic rhythm of Sorgere di una sinfonia into a luminous imagined horizon.

02 / The artist
Giancarlo
Carnevale.
An inner search, expressed through colour, light and the smallest details of nature.
Born in Frascati in 1965, Giancarlo Carnevale discovered his love of drawing at an early age. In 2002 he began painting in oils, initially favouring landscapes before exploring repetition and the close observation of individual objects.
His 2018 encounter with painter Luigi Bettini introduced acrylics into his practice and opened a new direction in abstraction. During the Covid period, his technique and expression developed further through commissioned paintings and his first portraits.
His later work combines materials, oils and acrylics to express his own vision of reality. In the catalogue’s curatorial reading, silence, roots, stones and leaves become points of connection between the inner world and the cosmos.
1965
Born in Frascati, where he spends his childhood and youth.
2002
First oil paintings; an exploration of landscape, repetition and detail.
2018
Meeting with Luigi Bettini; acrylic painting and a new abstract language.
2026
Lo spirito della materia, a catalogue curated by Giuseppe Ussani d’Escobar.
03 / The catalogue
Lo spirito
della materia.
A catalogue bringing together 35 works from 2019–2026, organised into four thematic explorations. Curated by Giuseppe Ussani d’Escobar and printed in September 2026.
“The dynamic interaction between space and matter, generated by light, characterises Carnevale’s profound artistic expression.”
