Giulio D'Amico Aka Otis Ready

I am a self-taught artist based in Milan, Italy.
My father was a painter, I was a child annoyed by the smell those oil paints left in my room. I certainly preferred drawing and the aroma of my grandma's sauce.

After a rather dark time in my life, I accepted painting as my natural means of expression.⠀
I am a father myself nowadays, happy to share my passion with my son and my artworks with you. Unfortunately, I have not yet managed to reach my grandma's sauce master level. Any suggestion of yours will be appreciated.

In my works, you will mainly find emotions, instincts, hate and love, anger, compassion, purity and all the dirt in the world.
You will find human beings and our relationship with the environment, a topic that I care a lot about.

Some talk about my brushstroke like a hard mark, nervous, always powerful; I can say art owns that power. I feel plenty of emotions that you may be connected with; I just let them flow, as they run inside me. On canvas I can find myself real and sincere.

Feel free to contact me for any information, or just to say hello.

Everything I know has been taught to me by curiosity and passion, by travels, books and artworks.
Okay, even from my father..
The first artists who struck me were Basquiat, Dalì, Modigliani and Caravaggio. Nonetheless, I feel this one from Henry Matisse really meaningful to me:

"Le couleur surtout et peut-être plus encore que le dessin est une libération"
