Massimo Fedele, 1964 | Abstract Figurative painter /sculptor

By Art periods and styles , , , ,


Massimo Fedele was born in Turin, Italy. After a few months his family moved to Apulia, in San Vito dei Normanni (Brindisi) where he still lives and works. After obtaining a diploma from the local Technical and Commercial Institute, he realised he was not on the right track.





At the age of 23 he started attending Master Filippo Cacace’s studio in Bari, where he learned Renaissance, Baroque and Impressionism painting techniques and created numerous copies of the great masters of the past.
For a long time he worked on commissions for collectors and churches in Brindisi province, until he lost his motivation and started on a more personal quest.
He broke away from figurative realism and became increasingly abstract and introspective.
He introduced the use of materials such as plastics, enamels and fibreglass to his work, while research became his new stimulus which he still pursues.
