In his interpretation of the female body, Paolo Desario searches for the essence, the archetype. The study of form joins with that of the pose, always in balance. By shaping the raw material, clay, the artist brings to life a body and a pose crystallized in time. Yet, the female body exudes freedom.

The artistic and versatile talent of Paolo Desario shines with vigor through his works, releasing a vitality almost tangible. His inspiration stems from an inner search that has ancient and primordial echoes, as suggested by the sinuous female torsos and the winged figures. He manages to fuse reality and transcendence through ever-new insights, forging an original synthesis between an individual predilection for the essentiality of forms and the most attentive 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; he has taught Plastic Disciplines at the State Artistic High School "Sacro Cuore" of Cerignola and at the Art 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.
