Andrea De Luca

I am a self-taught painter, a sculptor and a musician living in Bologna, Italy.

As a child I attended the art workshops of the painters Gottarelli and Raccagni in the town of Imola, Italy. I have a degree in Philosophy and a day job as a teacher in a high-school where I am often confronted with social exclusion and migration issues. My students are one of my sources of inspiration and very much influence my works and music.
