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.

Camille Pissarro: "Paint the essential character of things.."

‣ "Painting, art in general, enchants me. It is my life. What else matters? When you put all your soul into a work, all that is noble in you, you cannot fail to find a kindred soul who understands you, and you do not need a host of such spirits. Is not that all an artist should wish for?"

‣ "Dipingi solo con i tre colori fondamentali e i loro immediati complementari".
