Maestro Aldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1911. From a young age, he felt a strong religious vocation that led him to enter the cloistered monastery of Pietrasanta, where he spent three years studying philosophy, before pursuing artistic research as a self-taught artist. This led him to exhibit in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.
A man of faith, he believed that only through art could one reach the divine. This idea would inform all his work:
“I try to empty myself,” Gentilini declared. “This emptiness brings about a certain catharsis in me: I observe sensory values that I respect and reappraise, yet I never know how I will fall into the painting—and this is the realization of a truth directed toward a sign never before conceived.”
He was an artist who practiced asceticism in order to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. His two natures, the human and the aesthetic, coincide perfectly.

The painting will be carefully packaged and shipped by express courier with tracking.
