Last November I photographed Nicola De Maria’s artworks for the exhibition and catalogue “Coloris Gaudium” at Galleria San Fedele, Milan. Taking pictures of Nicola De Maria’s artworks has been an experience similar to enter in a colourful world shaped by a child’s energy and fantasy. Gorgeous!
Below you can find some pictures and the catalogue.
Lo scorso Novembre ho fotografato le opere di Nicola De Maria per il catalogo e la mostra “Coloris Gaudium” presso la Galleria San Fedele, Milano. Riprodurre le opere di De Maria è stata un’esperienza simile ad entrare un colorato mondo forgiato dall’energia e fantasia di un fanciullo. Meraviglioso!
Qui sotto alcune immagini e il catalogo.
A De Maria’s very short bio: “Born in Foglianise on December 6, 1954, Nicola De Maria has lived in Turin since he was a little boy. He earned a master’s degree in medicine, then continued studying with a specialization in psychiatry, but […] he has always preferred working as an artist. […] Nicola De Maria was able to develop his characteristically spiritual and lyrical language. Every one of his works is pure colour and poetry. […] During the 1980s De Maria’s works served as a foundation for the exhibitions of the Transavanguardia group organized by the critic Achille Bonito Oliva.[…] The artist seems to transform poetry into painting; every single work presents the magic frontier of a fairy-tale world.”
