Galloro Maurizio | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

An enthusiast of oil painting with a knife, Maurizio designs his canvases as fragments of history, “that of the path of [his] life”. His works are produced with a cameo of tones, mostly from a pallet made of greys, and sometimes built-up with touches of bright colours. Liberally figurative, they show us urban scenes where the games of perspective, material and light are omnipresent. This composition work with a resolutely contemporary feel, gives all of its force to the works created. Passionate about pictorial art, his influences range from impressionist painters’ works (second half of the 19th century) to the works of the “enlightenment masters” that are for him Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, aka Le Caravage, the English painter and engraver William Turner and the contemporary artist Pierre Soulages.
