Fabrizio di Nardo was born in Rome in 1966, attracted by art since childhood, he directs his expressive potential towards an articulated artistic research on material modification, free from academic dogmas, he focuses his creative poetics on the transformation of materials, an ineluctable fulcrum inspiration and confrontation. Di Nardo's artworks arise from the continuous dance between the artist and the chosen materials, heavy woods that he scratches, stabs, empties and fills with resins, sands and colors. Di Nardo reached complete artistic maturity with the exhibition "De-contaminations" in 2016 and immediately after with the cycle of works, called "Asomaterica", to continue in 2018 with a personal exhibition "in black". Fabrizio Di Nardo's expressive research appears as an unstoppable path that unfolds seamlessly and with harmonious coherence over the years, maintaining the vital momentum of the beginnings and the instinctive approach to matter that characterize the artist's modus operandi unchanged. Fabrizio Di Nardo's alchemical language, as dry and essential as a chemical formula, has an extraordinary strength.
