Paolo Desario - Torso in Movimento

Paolo Desario - Torso in Movement

The work presents an abstract and fluid reinterpretation of the human torso, focused on the study of movement, curves, and balance.

The figure develops with strong diagonal dynamism, creating a suggestive contrast between the softness of the organic forms and the tension of the pose. The surface features a warm, blended patina in terracotta and amber tones.

The artistic and polyhedral talent of Paolo Desario shines with vigor through his works, releasing a vital energy almost tangible. His inspiration stems from an inner search that evokes ancient and primordial echoes, as suggested by the sinuous female torsos and winged figures. He manages to fuse reality and transcendence through ever-new insights, knowing how to achieve an original synthesis between the individual preference for the essentiality of forms and the most attentive contemporary plastic research.

Sculptor and painter, Paolo Desario was born in Barletta, Puglia, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bari in the sculpture school of Amerigo Tot. He lives and works in Barletta, taught Plastic Disciplines at the State Artistic High School “Sacro Cuore di Cerignola” and at the Corato Artistic High School. He boasts an artistic career started almost 50 years ago, dedicating himself to sculpture and painting, participating in numerous national and international solo and group exhibitions.
