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. 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.

Paolo Desario's artistic and multifaceted talent shines vigorously from his works, releasing a vital energy that is almost tangible. His inspiration begins with an inner search that has 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, forging an original synthesis between the individual predilection for the essential forms and the most careful contemporary plastic research.

A 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; he has taught Plastic Disciplines at the State Art High School "Sacred Heart" of Cerignola and at the Art High School of Corato. He has built an artistic career spanning almost 50 years, dedicating himself to sculpture and painting, and participating in numerous national and international solo and group exhibitions.
