Sportiello - The Lovers

I am a visual artist and painter, a graduate of the School of Fine Arts and a former journalist for print media. My work is based on graphic improvisation, the fusion of line and color. My aesthetic is rooted in a lineage that spans from prehistoric arts, street art and comics, through Surrealism, 1980s figuration libre, 14th‑century painting, Hieronymus Bosch, Picasso and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Ancré 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. Meaning and structure emerge afterward, like a labyrinthine work in progress, a kaleidoscope of signs drawn from archetypes, universal symbols, but also from the world as it unfolds, nested in fragments of autobiography and nods to the history of art. This painting will be shipped with its black frame (American crate).
