About this artwork
This small work of 20x20 cm (proposed to collectors with a 27x27 cm frame) ago
part of a cycle of acrylic paintings on Japanese paper glued onto wood. Fascinated
from the texture of the backgrounds and the remarkable chromatic variety of the paper, I thought of
create a hundred 20x20 cm boards by drawing and painting straight away, without
preventive preparatory studies. The numerous square boards will form one
wall installation that will be… exhibited in future exhibitions that I am making.
I imagine a phantasmagoric representation of textures, backgrounds, colors, signs and
designs for an ideal meeting of traditions between East and West.

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.
