Federico Galati

My name is Federico Galati, I was born in Ivrea (Torino) 37 years ago.My passion for art started in my early childhood. I was 5 year old and I used to ask my sister to teach me how to draw,and so she did, I keep the memory of those days still alive in my mind.
time past by, I kept drawing and paintig throughout the years for my personal pleasure but as the time pass by I started realizing that life was drifting me away from what I love to do: paint. Now I challenge my self taking the lead of my life and drive it where
I want to go, doing what I want to do.
my subjects are, in the majority, humans, male and female, portraits and bodies. I'm now discovering all the benefits I receive from painting landscape such as a deep feeling of inner peace but in spite of this, painting humans still remain as challenging as gratyfing.
the challenge doesnt come only from mastering the tecnich, overcome the blocks I face during the process of painting, the challenge is also to create a link between me, the portrait and the viewer. when I'm in front of the white canvas I see the image I want to paint with all his colours,
when I open the tube, press it to get the colour out, lay the brush on top of the colour, inside the colour, and then on...
