In his interpretation of the female body, Paolo Desario seeks the essence, the archetype. The study of form blends with the study of pose, always in balance. By shaping the raw material, the clay, the artist gives life to a body and a pose crystallized in time. Yet, the female body radiates freedom.

The artistic and versatile talent of Paolo Desario shines powerfully through his works, releasing a vital energy that is almost tangible. His inspiration starts from an inner search with ancient and primal echoes, as suggested by the sinuous female torsos and the winged figures. He manages to fuse reality and transcendence through ever-new insights, knowing how to create an original synthesis between the individual preference 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; he has taught Plastic Disciplines at the State Artistic High School "Sacro Cuore" of Cerignola and at the Artistic High School of Corato. He has fostered an artistic career spanning almost 50 years, dedicating himself to sculpture and painting, participating in numerous national and international solo and group exhibitions.
