"What matters is not what you paint, but what happens to your soul, spirit, and body when you paint."
The Verona style (ARS IN UMBRA) is characterized by the following artistic principles:
Deep black backgrounds and dramatic contrasts.
Emotional and symbolic composition.
Use of intense colors organically segmented over the figure, preferably primary and secondary colors with minimal blending.
Integration between realism and pictorial abstraction.
Textures that evoke energy, movement, and emotional strength.
Elements of visual tension such as threads, lines, splashes, or strokes in primary or secondary colors.
Faces or focal points rendered with greater realism in contrast to stylized 2D bodies.
A sense of contemporary expressionist painting with a distinctive identity.
It is a high-contrast contemporary expressionist art style applied to conceptual and animal art, merging focal realism and chromatic abstraction over dark backgrounds, conveying strength, emotion, and symbolism through intense textures and dramatic compositions.
