Navaret – The Artist Who Gives Shape to Time

​

Navaret is no longer young, eclectic, unconventional, and extraordinarily erudite. His works and reconstructions are not the fruit of passing trends, but arise from a profound study of artistic movements of every era, which he knows and masters with rare depth.
His training is that of a rigorous scholar, passionate about history, philosophy, and ancient symbolism, but also about painting techniques, both classical and modern. Every creation of his is crossed by an interweaving of memory, improvisation, and vision: a coexistence of refined technique and uncommon imagination, emotional intuition and compositional structure.
His works, created in different periods of his life, reflect not only the transformations of the external world but also his inner states of mind. From this emerges a path that is varied and yet coherent, where abstraction, surrealism, and metaphysics freely merge.
The influence of Dalí, Magritte, and De Chirico can be perceived in many of his works, reinterpreted, however, through a personal gaze—never imitative, always oriented toward revealing the invisible that dwells within the visible.

In addition to his original creations, Navaret has passionately devoted himself to the reconstruction of lost works, an activity rooted in a dramatic event: the Florence flood of 1966, which devastated libraries, archives, and art repositories.
In those days, when Navaret was still a child, his father noticed some ancient books, half-destroyed and destined to be discarded. Perceiving their value, he hand-copied sketches and fragments. Those volumes, later lost forever, contained reproductions of works attributed to Leonardo da Vinci and to other Renaissance masters.

Those notes, preserved for decades as relics, proved to be precious witnesses of a lost heritage. Years later, thanks to study, the artistic sensitivity matured over time, and the conscious use of artificial intelligence as a reconstructive tool, Navaret succeeded in giving form and life back to those works erased by mud, bringing them once again to light through a meticulous reconstruction, faithful to the original spirit.

In this process, his ability to grasp the [essential characteristics] of Renaissance artists has allowed him to accomplish what very few in the world can achieve.

​

Navaret is indeed one of the very few living artists capable of reconstructing Renaissance works with absolute fidelity: not as mere imitation, but as the rebirth of an interrupted language. His strength lies in the union of three elements: profound historical knowledge, a pictorial sensitivity refined through direct study of the visual codes of the era, and the ethical, conscious use of new technologies. Within this balance, he restores intact the spiritual and symbolic power those works once held.

​

For Navaret, art and culture are not decorations of life but its very essence. His is a calling, an existential urgency. As he himself affirms:

📖 “Only art makes eternal what in you truly has value.”
📖 “What you are in the depths takes form in time only through art. There your value becomes visible.”
📖 “No wealth resists time. Only art preserves the true value of who you are.”

​

A firm believer in the primacy of being over having, Navaret considers money a means, never an end. It serves only to create a suitable environment for his mission: a life immersed in nature, far from the noise of the world, where he can devote himself entirely to artistic creation, research, reconstruction, and study.
Navaret does not present himself, expose himself, or promote himself: he lets his works speak for him. His name is a seal, not a brand. And time, he says, is the only true collector.
