Oceania: The five continents, 1996 - Carborundum etching with drypoint aquatint screenprint and xylography. - Paper Diameter: 155 cm - Image Diameter: 139 cm - Bibliography: E. Di Martino, Mimmo Paladino Opera Grafica 1974-2001, Gli Ori, Pistoia 2015 // Mimmo Paladino's Oceania (1996) is a striking mixed-media work combining carborundum etching, drypoint aquatint, screenprint, and xylography. It features a central, abstract human figure with minimal facial detail, set against a deep blue circular background. The figure appears ghostly, with a prominent area of darker shading in the chest, possibly symbolizing an emotional or spiritual depth. Geometric shapes and dark silhouettes surround the figure, evoking a sense of mystery and isolation. The use of mixed techniques adds texture and depth to the artwork, reflecting Paladino's interest in primal human forms and existential themes.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
