Poetry of Earth: Landscapes by Miguel Peidro and Marco Di Nieri

R. Alexander presents Poetry of Earth, the upcoming exhibition featuring landscapes by Miguel Peidro and Marco Di Nieri. Both artists depict the dramatic seasonal changes of their native European landscapes, ranging from the blustering snows of the Pyrenees Mountains to the lush green vineyards of Italy. Their hyper-realist techniques achieve a nearly photographic-level of naturalism which transports viewers across place and time. The show will be on display at R. Alexander from November 3 – 26, 2018.

Miguel Peidro was born in 1950 in Alcoy, Alicante, Spain. He received artistic training at a private studio alongside renowned Spanish painters such as Vincente Moya, Alex Alemany, and Juan Ferri. Immersed in the influence of such talent, Peidro excelled during the 5-year apprenticeship. His admiration for both painting and nature translates eloquently onto canvas by delicate brushstrokes and thick layers of paint.

Reflecting on his inspiration, Peidro explains, “My passion for both painting and nature are mixed within myself. This is the reason I paint landscapes. I find much inspiration in taking nature walks during my travels throughout Europe. I’m not interested in current art trends, I just paint what I like.” Upon viewing Peidro’s paintings, one cannot help but get caught in the quiet and meditative portrayals of nature.

Marco Di Nieri was born in Genova, Italy on February 14, 1957.  Inspired by the wood carving technique of his grandfather and his growing artistic expression, he attended the Arte de Chaivan Institute where he obtained a diploma in art education. 

His hyperrealistic style in which he has dedicated himself to creating landscapes, allows him to create scenes that give the viewers the sense of a faint breeze or a rustling brush.  Vibrantly displayed colors lend light blue skies to fields jeweled with green.
