Adriano,
Ciao ed benvenuto ! I see you finally got approved!
I don't paint in an impressionistic style, but have noticed that what people term realistic is often very loosely defined. It's definition as "faithful representations of reality" depends often to what extend the individual is able to recognize what is being depicted and by what type of depiction, weather impressionistic, painterly or super realistic the individual is moved. As Allan said:

It is my impression that Impressionism was originally intended to be an exploration of the real light and color phenomenon = a better realism.

In my opinion the impressionistic style of placing multiple small strokes next to each other to reflect the play of light, as originally intended by the Impressionists, is no longer favored and has been replaced by what is termed painterly (like Sargent's work).
