GIOVANNI GRECO was born in Catania, a city where he lives and works. After unfinished studies in biology and further exploration of artistic studies, he enrolled at the Scuola del Nudi in Catania and in 1980 began his painting activity, starting at the same time from the Magrittean example and subsequently De Chirico, where it was possible to resolve two apparently contradictory layers, dream and objective reality, in a sort of absolute reality.
At the core of his research is a strong drive aimed at solving the great dilemmas of existence and the relationship between the self and the world, trying to interpret the "thought"—sometimes incontrovertible passages—as the artist Giovanni Greco’s ineffable means to cast in a new light the fundamental problems with which our mind never ceases to free itself, staging visual blackmailings, blackmailings of the soul; further on he is drawn to metaphysical painting and mainly to the works of G. De Chirico, not so much for stylistic choices but for the deeper interest expressed in a solid compositional foundation; objects, figures and even space become powerful masses given by dark, velvety chromatic volumes in a context where time seems arrested and the subjects are suspended between metaphysical influence and neoclassical allusions drawn from past works shaken by time, in a world unknown.
It is the world of the “éndonèxò,” a term coined by the artist—(éndon-éxò)—where the gaze is clearly directed toward itself and inward to things, yet at the same time conveys his desire to make his painting feel closer to the observer’s lived experience, rising from the depths of the soul and gradually, with new dark forces, replacing the clear and simple spaces of reason.
