Massimo Silvano Galli

I was born in Milan on September 23, 1968. As an artist and therapist, I've always been immersed in an ongoing quest, exploring the landscapes of Creation through areas of human adventure that delve into Art, Care, and Communication. My research spans diverse fields, encompassing a wide range of narrative, poetic, dramaturgical, essayistic, and visual art productions.

I suppose it could be said that I spent my time breathing. I am a Breather.". Well, perhaps this is better: "I am a Breather!"…

And who else, more than an artist, pardon… a breather, is roaming the territory of poetical and symbolic "in which the yes and no of things are equally credible" (Lorca, 1993)? Who more than a breather-artist- inspire, and having inspired, expires, expiates, repairs, with its Works, ugliness, his ow...
