Description

I Vizi (2020) is an original mixed-media painting by Italian artist Cobalto. The work explores everyday indulgences in a quirky and unconventional artistic approach, presenting familiar everyday behaviours through a playful and distinctive artistic approach.

Created using acrylic and mixed techniques on board, the painting incorporates marble and synthetic marble elements in relief. These raised materials add a tactile, three-dimensional quality to the surface, bringing texture and depth to the composition and setting it apart from a traditional flat painting.

Measuring 70 × 64 cm, the work combines painted elements with sculptural details, creating an original mixed-media piece with a strong physical presence.

The painting is signed by the artist in the lower-left corner and is in excellent condition. It has remained in the artist's possession since its creation in 2020.

The artwork is offered unframed and will be carefully packed and protected for shipping.

About the artist

Cobalto is an Italian contemporary artist, born in northern Italy in 1963, where he continues to live and work. Drawn to nature and the arts from an early age, he began his artistic journey through still-life, figurative and landscape painting. Inspired by great artists, he developed a strong attention to detail while gradually searching for a way to move beyond imitation and create a style of his own.

Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a constant desire to discover, experiment and create, Cobalto has always been eager to explore new artistic possibilities. In 2011, his explorations culminated in the development of a distinctive style, bringing together the many influences and forms of expression that inspire him.

Nature and human nature are a constant and fundamental presence in his work. It is not simply a subject to be depicted, but often becomes an integral part of the artwork itself, incorporated through the materials and elements he uses. For Cobalto, writing, music and dance are also expressions of nature, interconnected forms of creativity that find their place in his artistic world.

His exploration extends beyond painting into sculpture, where he carries the same concepts and visual language into three-dimensional forms. Both his paintings and sculptures are influenced by Cubism and revolve around nature and the arts, featuring the recurring and distinctive motif of a single eye.
