Francesco Dezio - Inabissarsi

Diving Deep is a work that explores the boundary between surface and depth, between identity and dissolution. The face emerges — or perhaps sinks — in a dense, vibrant water, where the paint becomes liquid, reflective, almost dreamlike.
Francesco Dezio uses a reduced but intense palette, with directional brushstrokes and spatters that evoke the movement of water and the fragmentation of perception. The reflection is not a mirror image, but emotional: a distorted echo of inner life.
The title suggests a voluntary gesture, almost ritual: diving not as escape, but as a deep immersion into oneself. A work that speaks of transformation, of silence, and of the beauty that lies beneath the surface.

Artist biography
Francesco Dezio is a painter and illustrator. His work moves between figurative painting and social critique, with a sharp yet empathetic view of the contemporary world.
His style, defined as Disrupt Realism, takes reality and inverts it with irony, surrealism and solid technique. At the center of his works are often marginal figures, everyday life subjects who become icons of a new urban mythology, fragile yet alive.
