Over Massimo Di Stefano
I was born in Chieti in 1965 and I live and work in Perugia.
I am a self-taught artist who loves the beauty of Nature and the wonders of the Cosmos.
I approached painting by listening to the innate transport towards the primordial elements of life in which I recognize the main engine to be able to express the depths of my soul.
Mine works are abstract - informal with sometimes more or less figurative hints.
They are made with mixed techniques through the use of acrylic colors, tempera, enamels, natural earths, gypsum, vinyl glues, polyurethane, plant elements, etc.
The experimentation of materials is the basis of my artistic path that treasures all that nature and human technology make available to me.
Photography and digital art go hand in hand with painting with a synergy that strengthens and completes the desire and need for the emergence of my subconscious and of the users of my works.
