SOUND SAX Painting

Roberto Re was born on 09/17/1967 in Casaltone, a small town in the lower Parma area. His artistic character emerged from childhood, expressing his artistic streak on every medium within reach of a brush, from milk cans to the walls of the house. The loss of his father at the age of six marked his life with bitterness and resentment As a teenager, painting, poetry and football were his outlets. He graduated from I.T.I.S. Leonardo da Vinci works as a technical designer of electrical diagrams. The passion for painting has accompanied him since his youth to an extent that is anything but marginal, as overbearing as a physiological need, it has always been an integral part of his personality. Roberto defines his paintings as "intense moments of life", they are the result of an internal explosion of feelings, externalizing sensations that he imprints on the canvases, transforming them into technical and extreme abstract works of art. For the artist, painting, colors and the brushstrokes must express feelings and not reproduce a material and static reality. In Roberto Re's paintings the process from reality to abstraction is forcefully structured by a marked and organic or variously modulated design, from this metamorphosis the relationship between vital energy and rational abstraction emerges almost dramatically, giving new life to the painted subjects.
