Calle Sol Painting

The Italian painter Matteo Tomaselli was born in 1971. He is a talented artist, able to combine his natural ability with a strong academic education. Over the course of his life, Tomaselli studied with teachers such as Gianluigi Mattia and other internationally renowned professors. He has studied Architecture, Renaissance art, nineteenth century Romantic art, and the Avant-garde art movement between the nineteenth and twentieth century. Tomaselli is an intimist painter influenced by Analytic and Synthetic Cubism, and also by Futurism and Classicism art movements, but at the same time he is able to make a personal elaboration of these artistic inspirations, creating a personal style that glorifies colors and shapes in an impressive visual blend of high emotional impact. Latent but not negligible in his art, is the presence of symbols and allegories typical of the Western tradition which shows the interest of the artist in Esotericism. In the bridge between the 20th and 21st century, Matteo Tomaselli lived in Cuba for a while. There, he organized in 2000 an important exhibition during the annual “Semana de la Cultura Italiana”, an event sponsored by the Italian Embassy in La Habana. Tomaselli is considered by the art critics as a genuine artist that loves to combine ancient and modern art techniques, and an artist who could be considered the founder of a new art movement the “Futurist Renaissance”.
