"Aporia" Painting

My name is Manuel Remeggio. I live in Treviso, a small town close to Venice. Since I was a child I have been passionate about art mainly because of my family. They showed me the beauty of being curious in exploring life. This passion led me to attend the Art High School in Treviso. During the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice I was able to understand how much painting meant to me and how to express it. During my experience at Middlesex University Fine Art in London I realized painting came from my heart and showed itself as an "aporia". So through this intimate process I started to create paintings that are the instinctive representation of this research. With the passing of time I became unable to express it despite my burning passion for painting. So I unintentionally stopped painting for a while to get some peace of mind and I devoted myself to ceramic design, communication and lighting projects. In 2016 I came home from a 4-months lighting design experience in Dubai and I went back to painting with the purpouse of making aporia a way of painting to improve my and other people's life. Thus the project "Painting to improve life" is born for two purpouses. The first is to represent people or situations that socially deserve attention and make people think, for example environmental issues, people with handicaps, violence, solitude, old people, unemployed workers, and so on. The second purpouse is to give a concrete contribution, that could come from these works sale, to relieve, even if in a small part, some discomfort. "Painting to improve life" would be a project to inspire and attract other painters with the same art approach, that is painting to feel part of a global community, not just for one's own ego. In 2018 I am going to evaluate to start a crowdfunding campaign to give birth to this dream
