Matteo Villarosa

Czechoslovakia-born artist, writer, and language enthusiast.

The painter behind the Sunroset project:
- aiming at expressing the vivacity of the spirit of the portrayed people though the contrast of vibrant colours
- aiming at expressing the message that there is a sun in each us but not always we see it.
- emphasizing through the contrast and symbolism that the beauty can be both ephemeral and eternal, depending on which aspect of it we focus
- the style is usually marked by the blending of romance, nostalgia, hope, existentialism and exploration of meaning.

- 8 years of regular art clases (since 5 y/o): graphite, charcoal, ink, pastel, watercolor, tempera.
- 4 years of technical drawing and design, architecture and history
- self-taught in oils and acrylics
- additional classes in large-size portraiture (2016)

Other formal education:
MA in International Relations and Business

- 2 solo exhibitions in 2017, in Bardejov, Slovakia
- various group exhibitions

Some paintings are in the UK and Italy, but most of them in Slovakia.
