In his pictorial research, Jacopo Scassellati adopts a deeply artisanal approach, in constant dialogue with the classical European tradition. Each work is the result of careful preparation of the supports and a thorough study of historical techniques.

The artist personally creates backgrounds and primers, working on canvas or wood with layered preparations that guarantee depth and durability over time. He prefers to use natural pigments, often prepared by hand according to processes inspired by ancient painting techniques, which give the surfaces an intense chromatic and material quality.

The color is applied through successive glazes, calibrated overlays, and tonal transitions constructed with academic discipline. Drawing, a fundamental element of his method, guides the composition from the earliest stages, maintaining a balance between formal structure and expressive tension.

The pictorial surfaces reveal a constant exploration of light and shadow, physical presence and spiritual dimension. The colors are never random: each shade is chosen to evoke memory, silence, sacredness, or narrative drama.

The result is a painting that combines technical rigor and contemporary sensibility, in which the material becomes a vehicle for contemplation and storytelling.
