''RATTO DELLE SABINE''-serie Echi al passato(Giambologna)di Tommaso Valenzano-Settembre 2014(olio su tela 87,5x200) Painting

He was born in Acquaviva delle Fonti, studied and graduated in Bari at the Art Nouveau De Nittis High School. He lives in Adelfia for 22 years, then moves to Marche where he studies to become an Interior Designer, after almost two years he returns to Puglia and in May 2013 he moves to the province of Perugia. Since 2006, at the same time as painting, he is working as interior designer. Since he was a child, his artistic and pictorial skills are manifested through his visual memory and his versatility in adopting every kind of technique. He prefers oil painting, based on contrasts of lights and shadows, like the artist that inspires him, the Caravaggio. Since 2008, after a visit to the Borghese Gallery in Rome, he started studying Italian sculpture and not, bringing it back to canvas and evincing some details. An example of their beauty, elegance and naturalism are the sculptures of Canova and Bernini, on which the artist is particularly tempted by creating a series called "ECHI AL PASSATO"
