AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Paolo Desario - Venus Aurea Ex Undis

In his interpretation of the female body, Paolo Desario seeks the essence, the archetype. The study of form merges with that of pose, always in balance. Molding raw matter, clay, the artist gives life to a body and to a pose crystallized in time. And yet, the female body exudes freedom.

Technical info:
- Year: 2025
- Total dimensions: 64x14x14 cm
- Material: Patinated terracotta with gold acrylic
- Shipping: the work is shipped with adequate packaging

The artistic and poliedric talent of Paolo Desario shines impetuously from his works, releasing a vitality almost tangible. His inspiration stems from an inner search that recalls ancient and primordial echoes, as suggested by the sinuous female torsos and the winged figures. He manages to unite reality and transcendence through ever-new insights, knowing how to operate an original synthesis between the individual predilection for the essentiality of forms and the most attentive contemporary plastic research.

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