Passage Painting

Mattia Paoli (1991) is an artist from Florence, and has been active in the artistic field for a very long time. Painting has always been an essential element of his life: he has been painting since he was a kid, mixing a wide range of artistic techniques and experimenting with creativity. Graduated in Design with honors from the University of Florence, he participates in international competitions and his artworks are appreciated and purchased by collectors around the world. His artistic research explores new creative approaches through 3D design and investigates the visual relationship between real objects and their representation. His works, with their dynamic and material surfaces, express a feeling of man's transitory existence. This caducity is the main subject of his photographic research, in which he combines analogical and digital techniques. These symbolically represent the twofold and the contraposition between positive and negative pole, which are intrinsic elements of the human essence.
