Bruscella Donato

BIOGRAPHY (English)
Born in Bari, Italy, in 1947, Donato Bruscella is a contemporary painter whose artistic journey began in 1984. A self-taught artist, he has mastered his craft through the rigorous and persistent study of both foundational and professional techniques, driven by a deep passion for the classical tradition.

His technical foundation is rooted in the meticulous analysis of Leonardo da Vinci’s proportions, Giovanni Bellini’s chromatic harmony, and Caravaggio’s dramatic mastery of chiaroscuro. This classical influence is seamlessly integrated into his contemporary practice, where he focuses on the female figure as an iconic subject.

Specializing in oil on canvas, Bruscella employs traditional layering techniques to capture the psychological depth and aesthetic grace of his subjects. His creative process often bridges the gap between digital inspiration and personal photography, translating familiar faces and iconic imagery into timeless portraits. While his primary medium remains oil, he occasionally explores the tactile qualities of oil pastels, always maintaining a rigorous commitment to formal balance and anatomical precision.
