About this artwork
On the occasion of the book fair which is usually held in the month of May in Turin, an important international event, I wanted to dedicate this artist's book to which I gave the title: L'UOMO LIB(E)RO. Reading, getting to know the world and man's emotions in the press makes us grow and, in a certain sense, makes us mentally free. Reading my more than 40 books a year is no longer enough for me: I should steal the time I dedicate to painting and devote…
it to researching books that may interest me, but now, at my age, giving up the brush and the colors would be distressing and disastrous. This assemblage was made with a book covered in acrylic resin, a small mannequin, acrylic colors.

« I paint a dream, a memory, or a transmuted thought that is identified with a chromatic-arboreal-climatic intertwining . »
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.
