In his interpretation of the female body, Paolo Desario seeks the essence, the archetype. The study of form blends with that of pose, always in balance. Molding 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 multifaceted talent of Paolo Desario shines strongly from his works, releasing a vitality almost tangible. His inspiration starts from an inner search with echoes as ancient and primordial 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 achieve 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, Apulia 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 Liceo Artistico Statale "Sacro Cuore" of Cerignola and at the artistic high school of Corato. He boasts an artistic career begun almost 50 years ago dedicating himself to sculpture and painting, participating in numerous national and international solo and group exhibitions.
