HORN RE-BORN - CORTEX HORN Painting

My name is Alessandro, I live in a small village in the north area of Milan, near the mountains and the lakes. I was born in Milan in 1993, the 22nd of May. I love fine arts since I was a child, drawing and painting was what I liked more at school, from the very beginning. This is for me the best way to express myself and communicate. My objective in fine arts is to express my sensations and my impressions, to make people feel what I feel, to share my passions. So, I use any technique and material I consider appropriate for the specific situation and subject. I use drawing, painting, sculpture and video, but I often look for new ways, new techniques to express what I have inside. I use mixed techniques as collage, drawing and painting together, and I explored new materials and old expressive methods, such as sewing and wire mesh shaping. For instance, I did some compositions using animal horns: in fact, you can draw with anything you have available when you are inspired. For me the search for the "right" colour shade is very important, I try the colours’ shades again and again, until it satisfies the need of the moment. In the end, the colours’ tests become a work in the work, I've collected a lot of them, and every new work still produces news. The recurring theme for me is nature, especially animals, a passion that I carry inside me since I was a child. One of my first drawings, made in the kindergarten, was my dog, Miki, in the backyard. I hope to be able to pass on to you this love of mine for nature, for colors, for what is beautiful, because it is what I care about most.
