On the back of the board, there is a hole that can be used to hang it on the wall simply with a nail. The sides of the board (2 cm) are painted black to create a visual effect that mimics the appearance of a frame, thus adding depth and an elegant contrast between the artwork and its border, as if it were enclosed in an autonomous space. Of course, the board can also be freely framed according to your taste.

Anyone who purchases the artwork for an amount equal to or greater than €200 will also receive a signed original sketch, hand-colored on black cardboard measuring 30x20 cm. The sketch depicts a different landscape, as a tribute to those who choose to support my artistic work.

Giulio Santoleri was born in Fabriano in 1991 and received his artistic training at ISIA in Urbino, where he developed a keen visual sensitivity to form, color, and the relationship between sign and surface. After his studies, he embarked on a professional path in the field of graphic design and visual communication, founding the studio Pittogram in 2017, which is active in editorial design and visual identity.
Simultaneously, he pursues an intense and coherent painting research, finding landscape as his main field of investigation. For Santoleri, landscape is not merely a naturalistic view but a mental and emotional structure, an 'inner geography' that reflects moods, silences, and synthetic visions of reality. His painting is characterized by an essential and contemplative approach: forms are reduced to the essentials, with clear contours and sober color fields, in a constant tension between formal rigor and lyrical depth.
His works evoke suspended, almost dreamlike atmospheres, where light serves more a symbolic than a descriptive function, and every element – a hill, a tree, a road – becomes an archetype. His style, balancing between visual minimalism and emotional intensity, recalls certain outcomes of abstract landscape painting and Italian art of the twentieth century, while maintaining a completely personal voice.
In 2022, he was selected for the prestigious Premio Marche – Biennale d’Arte Contemporanea, an accolade that affirms the value of his research within the landscape of contemporary Italian art.
Currently living and working in Sassoferrato (AN), he continues to explore the relationship between man and nature, time and space, through meditative painting that invites calm and reflection. His works are part of private collections and exhibition spaces in Italy and abroad, across Europe, the United States, and Asia, demonstrating the universality of his visual language.
