Cafrà, stage name of Francesco Casa, is an expressionist painter known for his pictorial production which ranges from the representation of genre scenes inspired by simple existences and popular or circus characters, up to the Madonnas with child created with a synthetic and gestural trait . Cafrà's works focus on the description of an everyday life that is rich in symbolic meanings. The iconography used by the artist recalls symbolism, while the execution of the works refers to expressionism. The subjects represented by the painter are outlined in an essential way, while the color application is gestural, also reaching an accentuated pictorialism with expressive effects. This gives the scenes represented a sensation of dematerialization in a two-dimensional surface, where the vibrations of life are identified by the pictorial material itself. The final result is a unique and exciting representation of everyday life, which perfectly reflects the artist's vision of the reality around us.
