Michael Fantozzi

Michael Fantozzi was born in Rome in 1984. An Italian-American citizen, he spent his childhood between Rome and New York, where he quickly developed a deep artistic sensitivity, nurtured by visits to museums and cultural landmarks in both Italy and the United States. After attending a scientific high school and later studying languages at university, he began a career as a real estate agent, which he pursued alongside his true passion: art.

A self-taught artist, Michael has been painting for as long as he can remember. His early works—small and textured—were born from an instinctive use of acrylic paint. His inspiration comes directly from the world around him: the vibrant colors of the Italian landscape, the scents of the Mediterranean, the sounds of nature, and the atmosphere of urban life. His artistic expression, which ranges from painting to clay sculpture, reflects a personal and poetic vision of reality.

After years of creating privately, it was through the encouragement of gallery owners and art professionals that Michael began exhibiting his work. From that moment, his artistic journey gained momentum, bringing his creations to galleries and art fairs across Italy and Europe, where they were warmly received.
