Duilio Barnabè portrait of a resting woman

This original painting by Duilio Barnabè was created in 1947. Post-war influences are strongly reflected in the work. The dreamy scene portrays a woman lost in thought.

The piece is signed in the lower right corner.

Duilio Barnabè was a visionary artist who radically transformed the world of painting. Born in 1930 in Italy, he became known for his breathtaking abstract works, in which color and geometry created an intense, almost sensory experience. His canvases were not merely images but emotions in motion—a quest to explore the deeper layers of human experience.

Barnabè played with form and materials, and his work seemed to breathe, shifting with the light and space around it. Every brushstroke reflected his boundless passion for art and his desire to push the limits of visual expression. His legacy lives on in every vivid line, every bold composition—a master who captured the essence of art with heart and soul.
