Gaglioffo Painting

Born in 1983 to a family that was partly Florentine and partly Sienese, thanks to his grandfather, a great collector and art enthusiast, his childhood was surrounded by great works of world class, under his guidance his passion grew, latent, in secret. The meeting and association with many artists has strengthened the desire to actively approach the creation of works that can imprint one’s soul on something eternal, the desire to express one’s thoughts, torments and emotions is often hidden and masked by elements that do not show themselves to the observer, leaving the intimate and understandable message to the artist. The Inciso series tries to conceptually represent to the world what for the artist is a problem that afflicts each of us, our "spiritual" mutation dictated by the events that have afflicted us, leading us to be people different from what we are. The path of each painting reaches its peak at the moment in which, fed up with no longer being us, we face a drastic introspective action, digging inside ourselves, in order to eliminate some aspects, we try to bring back what made us unique and true. . An eventful past, traveling the world as a professional motorcyclist, after several injuries, in 2019 life suddenly undergoes a drastic change due to a health problem, the peak is reached in 2022, where due to the pain experienced, the artist for over after a month he can't sleep, his mind begins to resign and the external world takes on an abstract vision, his inner strength fades and when hopes were minimal, art returns to his life after a 3 year break, again The expression of his suffering occurs through colours, only thanks to this does life take on meaning again, like a therapy, painting helps to make the pain go away more than medicine, becoming a morbid necessity, an addiction which, if not nourished every single day, he manages to make spiritual and physical problems disappear, art becomes his oxygen. “I can say that art saved me, only thanks to it I am here today ” .Inversely to his emotions, the brightest colors represent the artist's most tormented states, where the dark ones represent a state of serenity for him, the various enigmas present in each painting are masked without giving the world the possibility of interpretation, strengthening the character of an artist tormented internally and sunny on the outside.
