Sportiello - Sans titre

I am a visual artist and painter, trained at the School of Fine Arts and 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 art, street art, and comics, through surrealism, the 1980s Libre figuration, 14th-century painting, Hieronymus Bosch, Picasso and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Ancred 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 retrospectively, like a labyrinthine work in progress, a kaleidoscope of signs, archetypes and universal symbols, but also in the present-day world as it unfolds, embedded in fragments of autobiography and nods to art history.
