Impressionism is freedom that shapes reality
José Alberto Alvarado I.
We could consider a genuine artist to be one who expresses his personality in his work, like a fingerprint that differentiates itself from the rest by its style. Considering this distinctive quality of artists, it would be sensible to classify them into two types: those who fully identify with a style, technique or movement, and who passionately devote themselves to it, highlighting its particular characteristics; there are also those who seek to do something new, freeing themselves from the chains of the conventional with the possibility of starting a new artistic movement.

Artists with this wood were the creators of “Impressionism”, and those who dedicated themselves to painting, knew how to take advantage of the technological advances of the moment in the creation of new pigments such as oil, so that they achieved a postín by making works where a palette with more resources would open up a whole world of possibilities in the treatment of light; the main pictorial element on which the impressionist artists focused.

Light overrides form to such an extent that even the shadows are created with the same dedication as the bright areas of the works, without giving importance to the focus of light. That is why we see so many works of Impressionism dedicated to the outdoors, which had to be done in the shortest possible time so that the sunlight would not change; thanks to this brevity, the artists were able to spread their works more quickly, and achieve greater popularity.

The beauty of Impressionism can be seen in the freedom with which the artist models a reality, extracting from the light a libertine polychromy with which he impresses the observer, immersing him in a hallucinating world where color is the matter that makes up the environment, and the superfluous form is only the perceptive motive that gives body to the work.
