Prof Ezio Maria Caserta:

I have seen with great pleasure the chromatic tone Carletti achieves in his paintings. I describe his works as neorealism incorporating light and transparency.

He brings nature to light with depth of imagination and spirit. The chromatic tones distinguish him from all the rest.

He captures dimension and form as an artist should often with surrealism and simplicity.
