For Pellegrini, the reproduction is not a copy, the picture not a study of nature. Rather, the focus is on the impression of nature and its transformation into an artistic artefact. His goal is the realisation of a painterly evidence that visually conveys the sensation of the respective experience of nature. In doing so, he describes the sensations of nature as momentary, sensual experiences that are conveyed through the creative process and thus snatched away from transience [...].

For Pellegrini, the yardstick is the mood conveyed by the picture. A state that encompasses the work, the artist and the perception to the same extent and is only approximately possible. In relation to mood, art offers him the possibility of a unity of object and subject, regardless of whether this can actually be achieved or can only be conveyed in perception.
