Giando Iannone

Italian artist born in Rome on November 8, 1982, with Italo-Uruguayan roots. As an autonomous artist based in Rome, my creative vision is rooted in the mastery of physical matter, exploring the deep connection between tactile sculpture and symbolic narrative. Since 2015, I have dedicated myself to creating artworks using the technique known as "painted glue" (colla dipinta), a term and concept coined by myself. This technique consists of creating a sculpture directly on canvas using hot glue and then painting it with mixed media. Recently, I have also incorporated other materials into my painted glue works, such as papier-mâché. Through the manipulation of reliefs, acrylics, enamels, and metallic leaf, each piece acts as an alchemical container of inner light, inviting collectors into an immersive, tactile world.
