Antonio Fabozzi

Antonio Fabozzi was born in 1978 in Italy. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino, received his MA degree at the Painting Studio in 2006. He also studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, Naples, Macerata end Perugia. His interest is generally focused on traditional artistic techniques, which he seeks to learn through the study of painting treatises (Cennini, Suardo, De Chirico, etc.) and restoration texts. He believes that every good painter must thoroughly understand the material and elements he works with, to the point of being able to recreate them when necessary. He is particularly interested in egg tempera with resin and the use of pure pigments, some of which he can produce himself through simple chemical processes or by extracting them from plants. His paintings depict enclosed spaces, often walled or surrounded by tall hedges. Once vibrant places, now abandoned and mysterious, where nature has long since taken over and man is a stranger and irremediably(?) excluded. His works have been exhibited in Italy, France, Japan, England, and the United States.
