Adriano Scarano

Adriano Scarano is a self-taught painter, illustrator, and digital artist born in 1998 in Mottola (Taranto, Italy). He has been in love with art since he was young. He paints instinctively on treated cotton canvas, preferring oil paints (although he also works with acrylics) and adopting a spontaneous approach to pencil drawing, where faces are deliberately concealed to emphasize posture. His works delve into introspection, conveying a profound empathy for loneliness, sadness, and weariness, inviting viewers to recognize themselves and feel understood, never alone. Many of his works have been exhibited virtually and physically throughout Italy (Martina Franca, Monopoli, Florence). His work "Guy 451" was also used as the cover of the book "Il fermo proposito" by Cosimo Scarano, published by Algra Editore.
