Alessandro Francescatti

My name is Alessandro,

I live in a small village in the north area of Milan, near the mountains and the lakes. I was born in Milan in 1993, the 22nd of May.

I love fine arts since I was a child, drawing and painting was what I liked more at school, from the very beginning.
This is for me the best way to express myself and communicate.

My objective in fine arts is to express my sensations and my impressions, to make people feel what I feel, to share my passions.
So, I use any technique and material I consider appropriate for the specific situation and subject.

I use drawing, painting, sculpture and video, but I often look for new ways, new techniques to express what I have inside.
I use mixed techniques as collage, drawing and painting together, and I explored new materials and old expressive methods, such as sewing and wire mesh shaping.
For instance, I did some compositions using animal horns: in fact, you can draw with anything you have available when you are inspired.

For me the search for the "right" colour shade is very important, I try the colours’ shades again and again, until it satisfies the need of the moment.
In the end, the colours’ tests become a work in the work, I've collected a lot of them, and...

After the primary school I attended an Art Institute in Milano for five years.

Then I went thought a selection to access to the University classes, I was selected in two different ones and I choose NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti).
I enjoyed a lot this school, where I found very helpful people, smart and kind teachers and ideas, suggestions and technical skills that helped me to refine my capabilities and explore a lot of different areas, always in the field of Visual Arts: painting, sculpture, engraving, video making, art performance and photography.
At the end my first love still remains the most important one for me, painting is what is coming out more easily from my heart, but I love to have experiences in other areas and experiment new ways of expression.

I graduated in Fine Arts, in Milano at NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti) with the highest rating.

In NABA there were no Master path interesting me, so I moved to Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, I passed an access test and I got my master’s degree last year.

Up to now I had been quite busy studying, and I did only some very local and small exhibitions, as:
NLA (Nuovo Liceo Artistico) MILAN personal 2014
FABBRICA DEL VAPORE MILAN collective 2015
