Dario Somigli

I started painting on impulse from the 80s, as a self-taught person, looking deeply into all the painting that had always fascinated me since I was a child, such as that of the French Impressionists, the Post Impressionists, Van Gogh, and all the painting in genre of the early twentieth century as that of Carrà and De Chirico. I immediately dived into baths of oil paints, also adoring their consistency, softness and smell. I soon set out to create a personal landscape minimalism, made up of geometric dimensions to which I gave three-dimensionality through the study of the atmospheres that created light and shadows at various times of the day, excluding human presences but tracing only their relative traces in shells. empty living quarters that represent them. Lately I have been passionate about the study and accurate reproductions of the American realism painter of the twentieth century Edward Hopper, without at the same time starting, by contrast, to also find my freedom of expression through an abstract and informal research path that I am still continuing. to do.

My public studies went as far as the Liceo Classico and there they stopped to undertake in-depth studies in a more free and personal way, as well as work as representatives including that for fine arts firms. Things that prompted me to start, in a self-taught way, the first personal artistic experiences starting from the 80s.

I have exhibited almost exclusively on the internet, except for a few group exhibitions at the end of the nineties as in the "Studio Logos" gallery in Rome in Trastevere and in any case I have sold several paintings to private collectors in the first online auction sites of the late 80s and 90s.
