Luigi Rosanigo was born in Pavia, Italy, in the lower Lomellina, where Lombardy and Piedmont intertwine through geography, history, and culture. He still lives and works there today.
My initial approaches to painting, and to a lesser extent sculpture, date back to the mid-1960s, and the subjects are figurative. A few years later, in the early 1970s, he shifted towards informale, initiating a spatial research whose results would be seen twenty years later. For the rest of the 1970s, after a brief 'poverista' experience, and throughout the 1980s, his focus was on developing surrealist themes in painting, graphics, and sculpture, achieving commendable results in originality and symbolic clarity.
Starting from 1988, the frequentation of Carrara artists (particularly Luciano Massari) decisively directed him towards sculpture. From there, his acquired familiarity with sculptural masses led him to revisit the ancient discourse of canvas manipulation (in the 1970s), which produced the current expressive trend (analytic/objective) where the languages of painting and sculpture intertwine. It was in 1989 that the first spatialist protrusions emerged, where color, space, and form would reflect, through a long process of study and research, the current painting path.
