Carlo Tornese

Sensitive artist Carlo Tornese, aka Cartès, since 1994, the year in which he stands out for his harmonious compositions in the solo exhibition in Capua entitled "The Ballad of the Golds" linked to his first fairy tale.

Artistic high school diploma and degree in architecture as well as art history teacher, he worked in Murano (VE) in the design and creation of wall and table clocks. His training, however, is mainly due to his authentic and innate passion for imagination and the art he cultivated since he was a child.
Moderately extroverted, certainly also due to the daily impact with our materialistic world, he is equally animated by his need to translate into images the visions that have fascinated him and which he translates into his fairy tales. Cézanne's famous phrase could be referred to his painting, characterized first by clarism and then by a lyrical expressionism: "first feel, then paint".
