Francesco De Grandi

He has a direct relationship with painting, almost body to body, and his pictorial research has evolved over the years by increasingly stripping himself of the contaminations of the forcibly contemporary image in order to find with himself a form of purity and honesty. Interested in the ontological matrix of painting as a path to knowledge, he finds in the archetypal motifs of his history a way to spiritual elevation in an almost meditative form of painting. The experience and vision of the work in its original form are fundamental in his works, toward an immediatist conception of the pictorial experience.

He participated to the 1st Premio Cairo, in 2000.
