Alice è appena andata via Painting

My name is Lorenzo Mattone and I was born in Rome in 1973.
I am an architect and I live and work in Rome. I paint till I was young because my father taught me the different techniques and so this activity became a passion for me.

Before I became an architect I was a restorer of paintings and so I learnt the properties of colours and in particularly the technique of water-colour.
During my art experience I changed my style from a realistic and figurative kind of paintings to abstract pictures with a great influence of my activity and forma mentis of architect.
The lines became geometric signs, built borders which define different spaces where the colour must remain.
So also the modern design is very important in my production, there is a direct line between the shapes that I create and the objects that I can see in the magazines and in the shops.
In my paintings you can find Picasso, Burri, Nespolo, Calder, Capogrossi and obviously my fathers influence.
