IDENTITY OF THE FORMS
It happens very often that by looking at a young painter, relate him to a painter of the past, for a detail, for a particular technique used; but looking at Barilaro's painting it is not limited to this aspect. Through his ability to succeed how to touch the emotional cords, he be able to drag the viewer within a wide universe: his strength lies in his ability to convey all this through the deepest feelings and to propose them in ways and forms more congenial to him. In "Identity of the forms" the compositional inspiration of the young italian painter, his skill to bring us into his depths, meets spontaneously and at the same time harmonious with the gothic traits of the German writer Hoffmann with particular regard to the collection of “The Night Pieces” (1816-1817). The eclectic German gothic writer (also musician and painter) through his insightful novels pervaded by anguish, had the ability to portray through his verses the man in his intrinsic limitation and obsolescence: the subjects told by both become the synthesis and the exaltation of content passes through the acquisition of their narrative identity. Placing the focus in the direction of this aspect is essential, and Barilaro through his emotional tension certainly succeeds in this intent, characterizing this artistic path in a unique way.
