Vincenzo Balsamo

Vincenzo Balsamo
Vincenzo Balsamo (b. 1935) is the May 2003 Artist of the Month. Vincenzo Balsamo was born in Brindisi, lived in Rome, Paris and now lives in Verona. He has exhibited in national and international fairs, galleries and museums since the 1950's. His body of work includes figurative work, the first abstraction, the "Decomposition" informal, the "Nebulous," the "Evocations" of surreal calls, the second abstraction, the "Analysis and experimentation's" period.

In 1987 he began the "Lyric abstraction." It is an operation the artist performs under the sign of grace and lightness, letting the images come out as if from a dream, the place where the lines of geometry and imagination live together. The sign outlines the forms, the color connotes the emotional field, the light dematerialises the vision. Vincenzo Balsamo is today one of the most important abstract Italian artists.
