Sportiello - La guerre

I am a visual artist, painter, trained at the School of Fine Arts and a former journalist for the print press. Based on graphic improvisation, the fusion of line and color, my work is part of a lineage that ranges from prehistoric arts, street art, and comic books, through surrealism, 1980s neo-figuration, the painting of the 14th century, Hieronymus Bosch, Picasso and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Anchored in drawing, my work develops as a form of spontaneous art made of colorful and chaotic images, mirrors of the world and of my own imagination from which meaning and structure emerge subsequently, like a labyrinthine "work in progress," a kaleidoscope of signs drawn from archetypes, universal symbols, but also from the world’s current events as it unfolds, embedded in scraps of autobiography and nods to the history of art.
