Antonio Presti is an experienced painter and sculptor based in Italy whose works have been exhibited nationally and in the United States. After completing his artistic studies in 1975, he came into contact with the grandeur of nature in the mountains of Turin, which inspired him to create landscapes with a "revisited naturalism". Presti's "fairy tale and allegorical microcosms" are most often conveyed through the symbolic imagery of trees and fish.
