Ivano Dorna

I was born and I live in Brescia, a city in Northern Italy near Garda lake. 
Now that I have a lot of free time I can dedicate myself to my never forgotten passion: make art. Although I attended art school in my city, (G. Savoldo art school), I consider myself a pure self-taught. I’m a freelance and I want start my adventure from here. I’ve no idea what will happen , but the love I put in everything I do will speak for me into my works. 
The influence that my numerous travels in Orient have on my style is undeniable and evident, but I also take inspiration from my fantasy, from nature and micro world, from fractals and jewels, from ancient civilizations of all ages and areas. Mine are creations in relief made rigorously freehand with patient work of depositing  stucco and / or plaster, followed by smoothing job and then coloring with acrylic materials. I work on canvas, wood and mainly on special chipboard plywood, more stable and without micro movements that could lead to imperfections of the deposited stucco. I use acrylic colors, often metallic ones, I love the gold and silver. These jobs take me long time to be completed, even months.
