Cesare Berlingeri's art is characterized by molding material to reveal conceptual depth. His work is deeply rooted in the idea of “planning the future for quietening the present,” striving to retrieve stability amid the chaos of contemporary life. Berlingeri’s approach is both methodical and introspective, reflecting a duality in his artistic practice: a rigorous, systematic manipulation of materials and a more sensitive, poetic exploration of color and form.

Central to Berlingeri’s technique involves folding and manipulating canvases, creating textures that evoke a sense of mystery and concealment. This process is driven by his desire to evoke secrets without fully disclosing them, making the invisible aspects of his work visible through subtle shifts in light and shadow.

The artist's monochrome palette plays a crucial role in this dialogue, serving to underscore the dynamic between the seen and the unseen. Berlingeri’s work thus stands as a testament to his belief in art as a physical act capable of revealing hidden depths through the subtle complexities of color and structure.
