Bruno Di Maio, 1944 | Ballet dancers

Bruno Di Maio, one of the Italys best Figurative artists, lives and works in Tuscany, Italy.

Di Maio was born in North Africa to Italian parents.

His work reflects his great love for Renaissance paintings, yet at the same time a strong desire for expressive autonomy.

Di Maio tries, successfully, in his allegorical and surrealistic interpretation of present, to give life to the recollect quality of the past.

The originality of his vision is seen in the sumptuous subject matter, the quality of his chiaroscuro and the dramatic light effect on the figures and objects in his paintings.

Erich Fried / Igor Mitoraj | Non so cosa sia l'amore / I don’t know what love is..

Non so cosa sia l'amore
ma forse
è qualcosa come:
Se lei ritorna a casa da un paese straniero
e mi dice con orgoglio:
"Ho visto un topo d'acqua"
e io mi ricordo di queste parole
quando la notte mi sveglio
e il giorno dopo al lavoro
e ho nostalgia
di ascoltarla
