emilio ventura - Amedeo Modigliani

The artwork I create will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
Artist Statement Brief
My painting practice focuses on the deconstruction of the figurative portrait as a means to explore contemporary identity and interior psychological states.
Through a dense, material use of oil impasto, challenging conventional perception of the human form, fragmenting and distorting the face to reveal hidden vulnerabilities and complexities.
In my works, flesh and emotion merge with the very surface of the paint.
The contrast I sometimes incorporate between the raw materiality of the face and the more graphic or defined elements, such as accessories or clothing, serves to highlight the tension between perceived order and inner chaos.
I strive to capture the fluid essence of a subject who is in a constant state of change, navigating between the raw materiality of painting and the ephemeral order of form.
I am a modern artist and contemporary painter, born January 12, 1979 in Maratea (PZ) and currently living in Sapri (SA).

After completing scientific high school, I had pursued studies in Computer Science, but soon I rediscovered and cultivated my true passion: painting, which has accompanied me since I was a child.
