In his interpretation of the female body, Paolo Desario seeks the essence, the archetype. The study of form merges with the study of the 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 radiates freedom.

The artistic and multifaceted talent of Paolo Desario shines forcefully through his works, releasing a vital energy that is almost tangible. His inspiration begins with an inner quest that evokes ancient and primal echoes, as suggested by the sinuous female torsos and the winged figures. He manages to combine 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 State Artistic High School “Sacro Cuore” in Cerignola and at the Artistic High School of Corato. He boasts an artistic career started almost 50 years ago, dedicating himself to sculpture and painting, participating in numerous national and international solo and group exhibitions.
