Critique by Prof. Lucio Violi of Alfonso Ferrari

"The formal power that reveals ability of concision and the intuitive possibility to outline the effect, an effect that then will be compeleted by details, characterize the personality of the polyvalent artist Alfonso Ferrari, whose language appears, as a matter of fact, in the fields of painting.
After the first narrative phase characterized by very different techinques, he transferred his extremely rare and uncommon talent for lyrical and fantastic sensibility into a plane of work of an expression that reaches the objective surreal and that gives to his creations completely new and not at all cerebral, in a cultured man like him, chromatic-plastic aspects.
So we can, and we have to, underline in Ferrari's works his harmony and deftness of composition that introduce to sensations of, not static, but dynamic and vibrating life, and to conceptions of cosmic harmony.". "
