Bruno Di Maio |
||||||
|
Bruno Di Maio was born to Italian parents, in 1944, in Tripoli, Libia. He lives and works in Italy. One of his country's best new figurative artists, he has worked for a long time in the restoration field, acquiring a prodigious technical ability. |
||||||
|
His work reflects Iris great love for Renaissance painting, yet at the same time a strong desire for expressive autonomy. In his allegorical and surrealistic interpretation of the present, he successfully gives life to the recollective quality of the past. |
||||||
|
The originality of his vision is seen in the sumptuous subject matter, the quality of his chiaroscuro and the dramatic light effects on the figures and objects in his paintings. |
||||||
|
In addition to painting, his artistic training extends to sculpture and engraving. He also excells as a watercolorist and in the creation of astounding "trompe 1'oeil" mural paintings. His work can be found in private and public collections in Europe, Japan, Australia and in the United States. |
