Acrylic on canvas, 30x30, 2026

Tancredi Fornasetti was born in Rome in 1983, where he still lives and works. After graduating in Decoration from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome under the guidance of Professor Michele Cossyro, he developed a highly personal pictorial language from the outset, weaving together geometry, architecture, and a profound sensitivity to color.

His work belongs to the broad horizon of Abstract Art, while renewing its coordinates through a contemporary, visionary approach. In his works, lines and planes multiply into complex perspectives and structures that evoke imaginary urban spaces, impossible architectures, and metaphysical geometries. The artist draws both on the rationalism of the 1930s and on De Chirico’s legacy, filtering them through a sensibility shaped by digital experience and the visual culture of our time.

Fornasetti’s painting does not merely describe: it develops and transforms. References to art history—from Mondrian to Kandinsky, from Malevich to Soldati—merge with influences from cinema, set design, and virtual reality, giving rise to a visual syntax that brings together analytical rigor and emotional impulse. His “contemporary skylines,” created strictly freehand, are the result of a balance between order and chaos, geometric construction and instinctive gesture.

The relationship between space and color lies at the heart of his practice: a constant dialectic between opposing forces—centripetal and centrifugal, analytical and synthetic—that generates continuous visual vibration. His surfaces open like doors, roads, and windows onto worlds that contradict and sustain one another at the same time, guiding the gaze along endless paths.

From 2006 to the present, Fornasetti has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in Italy and abroad, collaborating with leading galleries, museums, and curators. The venues that have hosted his work include Galleria Mucciaccia, Galleria Mario Giusti HQ in Milan, Virus Art Gallery, and Galleria Medina in Rome, as well as international projects curated by La Maison de La Petite Sara in the Republic of San Marino. Over the years, he has taken part in events such as Affordable Art Fair, Tiferno Comics, and ArtExpo Arezzo, as well as initiatives curated by figures including Achille Bonito Oliva, Vincenzo Mollica, and Francesco Gallo Mazzeo.

A cultured and inquisitive artist, Fornasetti continues to explore painting as a living language in constant transformation. His works bring together memory and innovation, introspection and experimentation, creating a visual universe in which geometry becomes emotion and space becomes a story.
