Biography

I have I made my first personal exhibition at the age of 18, way back 1969 in Caltanissetta, Sicily, where I was born. I have exhibited in the most beautiful cities of Italy including: Agrigento, Caltanissetta (1969,71), Palermo (1971), Naples (Castel dell'Ovo 2016), Rome (2015), Macerata (1970), L'Aquila (1971), Rimini (2006), Spoleto (1975), Bologna (Artefiera 1993) Sanremo, Cuneo (1977, 1980), where I have lived since 1979 to 2015, Ferrara (2013) and Turin (2013), where I have settled since 2015.
I also exhibited abroad:
Hawaii in 2007, in France in Chouze sur Loire, at the Chateau des Museum Reaux (permanent work), and Paris (performance in 2014).

For me, painting is investigation, therapy and outlet: I have tried different techniques pictorial and various materials to seek balance and perfection that I haven't found it yet.
For many years my favorite theme is the Tree, to which I have dedicated several cycles.
"Antonio Presti's long thoughtful, measured pictorial itinerary identifies with a revisited naturalism, with careful research values of color and matter, with a figuration linked to one vision of reality...." (Angelo Mistrangelo).
