Description from the seller
Paolo Desario - Torso
Technical info:
- Year: 2002
- Overall dimensions: 43x19x19 cm
- Material: Patinated terracotta with bronze powder
- Shipping: the artwork is sent with appropriate packaging
In his interpretation of the female body, Paolo Desario seeks the essence, the archetype. The study of the form combines with the study of the pose, always in balance. By shaping the raw material, clay, the artist gives life to a body and a pose crystallized in time. Yet, the female body exudes freedom.
The artistic and versatile talent of Paolo Desario shines forcefully through his works, releasing a vital energy almost tangible. His inspiration starts from an inner search with ancient and primordial echoes as suggested by the sinuous female torsos and winged figures. He succeeds in uniting reality and transcendence through ever-new insights, knowing how to compose an original synthesis between the individual predilection for the essential forms and the most careful 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, has taught Plastic Disciplines at the State Artistic High School “Sacro Cuore” of Cerignola and at the Artistic High School of Corato. He has a nearly 50-year artistic career, dedicating himself to sculpture and painting, participating in numerous national and international solo and group exhibitions.
