Antonio Padovani

My technique revolves around a direct dialogue with nature. I incorporate real elements—branches, leaves, stones, and other fragments gathered from the environment—into my work, capturing the sensory memory of rain, wind, and sunlight. These materials, imbued with their essence, are transformed through unique gestures: sprays of paint, brushstrokes, and a process that feels almost ritualistic. The result is a visual narrative where nature and the artist merge, telling stories of beauty, transformation, and connection.

Born in Bologna in 1967, I currently live and work in Florence . Art has been a central part of my life, a passion I cultivated since attending art high school. Over the years, this passion has evolved into a profound and personal exploration that defines my artistic practice today.
