Chinese art🎨, Indian art, Korean art, Japanese art🎨, each had significant influence on Western art, and, vice versa.

Near Eastern art also had a significant influence on Western art. Excluding prehistoric art, the art of Mesopotamia represents the oldest forms of Asian art.

Antonio Sgarbossa, 1945 | Ballet dancers

Antonio Sgarbossa is one of the most appreciated and well known painters in Italy and abroad.

In art Antonio looks for something that is beyond our normal vision. It is the rather mysterious side that appears, with all the emotions and the thrills of the soul.

He harmoniously transfers it under a pictorial light, into a world that becomes fabulous, as our eyes discover it; loaded with suggestions; extremely sweet in its chromatic harmony; capricious in its images and in continuous movement, ready to capture us deeply and allow us to dream. He has shown the authentic quality of a painter. It is worth observing his paintings deeply, to taste its suggestive magic.
