diptych "Blindfolded Profile" - "Gagged Profile". The
image of "Gagged Profile" has recently been used in Italy, without the authorization of
the author and without the due declaration of paternity, as symbol of
the protests "No Gag" against the Decree of the italian Government about
the telephone interceptions, in consequence of this the unduly exploited
image of the art work has been communicated for weeks on all the
national most important means of information.

Contemporanea",
number of January-February 2007, pages 103-104)
Ottavio Pinarello, a young Paduan artist [a
city near Venice in Italy], grew up in a rich atmosphere of artistic-literary stimuli. His
classical studies concurred to deepen in him a humanistic vision through historic,
literary and philosophical knowledge, and a natural tendency to the reflection on the
qualifying meanings of life. He has devoted himself with passion to studies on history of
art and painting, perceiving for this expressive shape a particular and natural
predisposition that has carried him to express his own feelings and emotions in his works.
After a first short figurative period, his art matures in a pure abstract phase. In it
appears a deep interest of the artist for the substance, in a continuous flow and
upheaval, until clarifying a series of feelings and allusions. Subsequently, the wish to
deepen this search, intersected with a renewed will to explore human feelings, leads him
to progressively enter in a new "symbolistic" phase. In it the artist, through
the particular use of the human figure and the human profile, wants to explore some deep
aspects of the soul, and its relationships with the feelings, the passions, the substance
and the materiality. He aims to assign a human face both to real objects, idealizing them
and attributing further meanings, and abstract concepts, decoding and making them
concrete. The full mastery of the use of the colour and the personal, unique, ingenious
style confer a strong and innovating intensity to the pictorial representation of the
artist. Ottavio Pinarello with his paintings carries and involves his audience in a
metaphysical and, at the same time, a real world and space, transmitting to them
mysterious, enigmatic and engaging feelings....
