Portrait of a bipolar friend Print

"Igor Cani is an enigmatic artist whose work has remained in the shadows for much of his life. Self-taught and reserved, Igor spent the years cultivating his passion for art in secret, never revealing his creations to family, friends, or acquaintances. Through an artistic journey that embraces a wide range of mediums, from painting to drawing, from music to photography and video, Igor has developed a unique and experimental style, free from predefined patterns. His work reflects an incessant search for personal expression and artistic discovery, often characterised by a blissful distortion and a variety of themes ranging from the sacred to the profane, from the mundane to the abstract. His art, described by some critics as "Art Brut" or "Outsider Art," challenges conventional artistic conventions, reflecting the absence of academic training and the creative freedom that characterises his artistic path. It is only recently that the world has begun to discover Igor’s work, thanks to the revelation of his secret by Aldilà, a mysterious figure who brought decades of hidden creations to light. This discovery led Igor to decide to share his work with the world, using new technologies and harnessing artificial intelligence to retrieve and enhance his past works. Today, Igor continues his artistic journey, exploring new possibilities and challenges, while his artistic biography continues to evolve, revealing extraordinary talent and a unique vision of the world through his art."
