Andrea Marchesini was born in Verona and lives and works in Barbarano Vicentino. The son of an artist, he frequented his mother's studio, growing up immersed in the influence of painting. He studied art in London, frequenting museums and exhibitions, including the Tate Gallery, particularly focusing on the work of Turner, whose painting of pure light took him back to the great coloristic lessons of the Venetians. He spent two years in Dublin, visiting pristine places with traces of cultures that would form the basis for his pictorial series: "Traces" and "City of Silence"; apparitions mixed with lumps, cracks, craters, imprints, and stratifications that span days, years, centuries, and millennia, the atmospheres of a multicultural and multiethnic world, places and symbols that are part of the human journey, where man is absent while nature reclaims its space. In Barcelona, he came into contact with the work of Miró and his colorful world that made his paintings explode, while in Rome, where he lived and worked from 2003 to 2006, he rediscovered the origins of classical art. He also devoted himself to large canvases and tapestries under the themes "Affabulando," "Oltre la siepe," "Satyricon 2016," and "Action," where he freely used all the languages of his time and the past, blending them with those of cinema, comics, cartoons, and satire. This resulted in a painting in which abstract-expressionist elements emerge, whose force of sign recalls his training in models of the past. Communicative energy explodes in the alternating and overlapping colors, where the interior lines impose themselves on the exterior of the painting through the substantial synthesis of the energetic gesture. His painting is emotional, gestural, strong, and decisive, designed to captivate the viewer's gaze. In November 2017 he was invited to Hong Kong where he received an international art criticism award.
