Sad as it may be, we can confidently say that there are many good artists today, but those who are able to shock with their works are few. Among these few is the Italian artist from Sicily Fulvio Di Piazza, whose paintings are majestic, terrible and symbolic.
Artist Fulvio Di Piazza was born in 1969 in Syracuse, Sicily, and currently lives and works in another city on his native island, Palermo. Fulvio is a professional artist who graduated with honors from the Urbino Art Academy, where he studied painting and sculpture.
Fulvio became famous relatively recently. Recognition came to the artist after a personal exhibition that took place in Rome in 2007. Visitors enthusiastically accepted the extraordinary works of the Sicilian and offers from gallery owners poured in one after another.
Many consider Di Piazza to be a “modern Bosch”, although it is quite obvious that Di Piazza has his own unique style of painting. Fulvio Di Piazza's works are done in oil, although it is difficult to believe due to the incredible detail. The artist depicts non-existent worlds in which there is no logic, but there is much that more than replaces it.
Puffs and streams of smoke of different colors, burning lava, toxic bright plants and scorched deserts – the viewer sees despair, death, Armageddon. At the same time, everyone who is familiar with the work of Di Piazza does not leave the strange feeling that the master painted what he saw with his own eyes.
The ability to depict as accurately as possible what does not exist in nature is one of the most valuable facets of an artist's talent. Photos of paintings are unable to convey their monumentality and spirit of hopelessness, but you can be sure that having visited the master's exhibition, you will never be able to forget it.
