Luca Azzurro

Young artist, he attended the art high school in Crema, then, motivated by his passion for figurative art, several courses in Milan and Cremona, where he particularly studied advertising graphics and visual communication at the NABA university "Nuova accademia delle belle arti di Milano". He has several solo and group exhibitions to his credit that have led him to exhibit in Rome, Pavia, Novara, Piacenza, Palermo, Florence, Crema and other Italian cities. In 2018 he joined an initiative called "Art of the new millennium" with two works that are in archive copy by Vittorio Sgarbi. In 2019 he was awarded the First Prize in the Carlo Fayer competition, some of his works are published in contemporary art catalogs at a national level. Luca's painting is clearly contemporary, which draws on the second 900, in particular Street-Art, and Pop-Art. But not only that, he is also attentive to sculpture and architecture. There are several of his works depicting urban landscapes with aerial and low-level views in which he expresses his personal style, use of color and gestures that denote the beginning of an independent path, while referring to consolidated artistic currents. Also interesting are his portraits inspired by Pop-Art and Pollockian Dripping, which are not pure quotationism, but one notices the desire to appropriate the language to express himself in a personal way. His intimate subjects, depicting rural landscapes and animals denote a good technique and mastery of the pictorial language.
He himself says: "I paint because I like to paint, I am inspired by various painters, from any artistic movement or any historical period, perhaps more attached to the major exponents of 20th century art".
Luca is a growing artist, capable of speaking his own language in the varied world of contemporary art and able to tell the contemporary world with his painting.
