Alessandro Casetti
“Locate yourself into me,
that I learn it in precise engraving:
To have light you need to
crack up,
split,
shred yourself,
offer."
(C. Livia Candiani)
Biography
Painter and musician, he was born in Bagno di Romagna in the province of Forlì/Cesena in 1981. After graduating from the Sansepolcro Art Institute he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence for a year. His first exhibition dates back to 2002 with the Mentana art gallery in Florence.
Subsequently, he began to experiment with numerous painting techniques which refined his skills and stimulated the desire to delve deeper into the vast world of figurative art through constant research.
Music goes hand in hand with painting and represents that "fossil fuel" that constantly fuels his creativity.
The great passion for art, and in particular for painting, has turned into a full-time profession.
He currently collaborates with various art galleries in Italy, Europe and the United States.
