Gianluca Fascetto
I was born in 1983 in a small town in the Tuscan Maremma, Cinigiano (Grosseto) Italy and from an early age I grew up with a passion for drawing traditional Painting .
I am the son of a jeweler mother and a farmer father, two professions that coexist with the beauty of this world. I discovered painting at the age of 9 on a summer afternoon immersed in rummaging through didactic books on art, and like a baby who sees the light for the first time I started seeing something.
Leafing through I came across one of the most beautiful paintings for me, the "Libecciata" by Giovanni Fattori, and in trying to reproduce it with my fingers on a canvas I did not feel the passage of time.
At that moment I realized “I will never do without painting again”.
I love oil painting on gessoed wooden panel or canvas and I painted with many artists in their worksop / seminars.
Michael Hussar, David Kassan, Casey Bugh, Markus Lenhard, Valentina Riabova, Guy Atchinson, Shawn Barber, Chris Digwell, Jeff Gougue, Henrik Uldalen, Boris, Shige, Nikko Hurtado, Boris Vallejo & Judi Bell, Nick Baxter.
My favorite painters are: Giovanni Fattori, Caravaggio, Velázquez, Bouguereau, Bacon, Dalì.
In summary I would say this:
I am Fascetto Gianluca, art for me is the physical extension of our mind, our heart and our soul.
We carry an immense baggage of memory ... everything that distinguishes us in our life we reproduce it in the form of art. Our works are the product of the emotions, the colors, the images, the sounds, the smells that have characterized and formed us in the subconscious.
I can paint because it's the only thing I know how to do, pass the message to return to a single consciousness by my artworks .
The end of duality... to become one.
I am a painter, an artist who reproduces what has marked me, a very strong exchange of energy and information that i impress inside every brush strokes .
