Aldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1911. From a young age, he felt a strong religious vocation that led him to enter the enclosed monastery of Pietrasanta, where he remained for three years and studied philosophy. He then devoted himself to artistic research as a self-taught artist, which led him to exhibit in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.
A man of faith, he believed that the divine could be reached only through art. This idea would underpin all his work:
“I try to empty myself,” Gentilini declared. “This emptiness brings about a kind of catharsis in me: I observe sensitive values and respect them, reassess them, yet I never know how I will fall into the painting—and this is the realization of a truth toward a mark never conceived.”
He was an artist who practiced asceticism in order to emulate the Saint to whom he was devoted. His two natures, the human and the aesthetic, coincide perfectly.
