Aldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1911; since he was a boy he felt a strong religious vocation that led him to enter the cloistered monastery of Pietrasanta, where he stayed for three years, pursuing philosophical studies, then dedicating himself as a self-taught artist to research, which would lead him to exhibit in numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
A man of faith, he believes that only through art can the divine be reached. And this idea will form the backdrop to all his work:
"I try to make emptiness – Gentilini stated – This emptiness provokes in me a certain catharsis: I observe sensitive values that I respect, I reevaluate them, but I never know how I will fall into the painting and this is the realization of a truth toward the sign never thought."
He was an artist practicing asceticism, to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. The two natures, that human and that aesthetic, coincide perfectly.
