Carlito Dodici

Born in Burgundy in France in 1992, Carlito is an abstract painter, but does not label himself as such. "I am simply what I do and what I do is simply who I am". The colours he uses spring from deep within - a primal expression of the soul.

Admirer of the works of Pierre Soulages, master of black alongside whom he exhibited his productions on the walls of the Outreloire gallery in Nevers, Carlito nevertheless makes colors rain down on his supports. Acrylic on canvas, digital screen printing, inlay on wood, painting on glass: on each medium, its pigments spread out and the shapes come together without ever betraying their own contours.

Of construction.

“I like to think of my painting as a reflection of a person recovering from trauma. At the beginning of my creation, the colors mix randomly in an uncontrolled gesture, the accidents of life form a construction... Then I begin the deconstruction of the work, with various processes in order to obtain a harmony, a balance " .

Pain is the engine, instinct is the tool, and the unexpected is the reward.

Surrounded by art and by artists since infancy, Carlito never formally studied art, because for him, painting is not something that can be learned - it simply comes to life. He makes a conscious effort not to conform to any normative rules, artistic standards or fads that are en vogue.
