Bimbi Non Nati 2

Maurizio Cannavacciuolo (born in 1954 in Naples) lives and works in Rome. In the '70s he left his architectural studies unfinished and began his work as a self-taught artist making his first artistic experiences with the gallery of Lucio Amelio. Since then he has been active on the international art scene. His iconographic and conceptual research navigates between horror vacui and theater humor of the absurd, preferring images often at the limit of calligraphy and concepts capable of self-dissolving. An ironic vision of art and life that, however, never ceases to be profound, reaching the roots of our culture and spiritual guiding us towards meditation, all made usable by a pictorial style steeped in the Mediterranean tradition and with Middle Eastern influences. Since the late '80s he makes frequent trips mainly in Southeast Asia and the Americas.
