Igor Verrilli was born in Benevento in 1969. After studying at the city’s Art High School, he trained under masters Ernesto Pengue and Tommaso Saggese, earned a diploma in Painting Disciplines at the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples, where he followed the artistic path of masters Armando De Stefano, Bruno Starita, and Gianni Pisani, experiences that deeply influenced his artistic research, orienting it toward figuration and a constant attention to technical perfection.
During his career he has been supported and promoted by gallerists Eligio Fulli of Galleria Il Gianicolo in Perugia, Tonino De Maria of Galleria Art’s Events in Torrecuso, and Gianfranco Matarazzo of Galleria GiaMaArt Studio in Vitulano, as well as by the director of the Arcos Museum in Benevento, Ferdinando Creta.
His painting develops through an intense and visionary figuration, suspended between memory, unease, and theatrical dimension. His work investigates human identity and its contradictions, constructing images that oscillate between irony and drama, reality and imagination. Through gestural and layered painting, Verrilli brings to life characters and atmospheres with strong emotional impact, where the mark and color become narrative tools capable of evoking inner tensions and symbolic suggestions.
He lives and works between Benevento and Termoli, where he teaches painting at the Atelier Verrilli in Termoli and at the school-gallery “La Casa di Schiele” in Benevento. Over his career he has held numerous solo and group exhibitions, editorial collaborations, illustrations, and graphic projects.
