Maurizio D’Andrea, a contemporary artist born in Naples, creates what he feels, not what he sees. His creativity and originality mark him out as a universal artist for his works in the field of painting, digital graphics, sculpture, photography and artistic short films.
The artist began painting in oil at a very young age, establishing a deep and visceral relationship with the canvas. He paints with his hands and his works have a great emotional impact, transferring his dialogue with the unconscious to the viewer.
Maurizio D’Andrea produces symbolic works where scenes meet contrasts of shapes and colours that blend their bases, principally on the concept of space and balance between the parts shared by a strong and distinct expressive capacity. The artist achieves this through both geometric abstract and lyrical compositions, resolved with a dynamism cadenced by fine fading and with a rich combination of bright colours and aspects marked by a prominent and decisive ability to adapt to reality. The artist analyses, investigate and delves into his own interiority unceasingly, always employing new structural solutions, new techniques, new creative research. His compositional maturity through essential artistic evolution has thus allowed him to develop his inner manifesto, which combines poetic identities and ideal existential aspects. Maurizio D’Andrea moves between various artistic fields such as painting, graphics, digital, sculpture, generative art and photography. His multiple orientations are somewhat distinctive, concealing a harnessed fantasy that releases a surprisingly armed inventive vigour when unleashed.
He can therefore define himself as a universal and versatile artist due to his method of self-declaration in the essence of things and attitudes, and his ability to make thought the image and mirror of his own psychological identity. In these works, founded on the absolute freedom of execution, we witness a repetitive and vigorous gesture, accuracy in realisation, the flow of the brush, the use of collages and assemblages. Maurizio D’Andrea becomes the architect of a universe in constant transformation since art always follows the course of time. A difficult time to describe, where the concept of art is overturned in favour of ever-expanding technology. It is precisely for this reason that he abandons the excesses of painting past, to arrive at a decidedly personal art where the extreme ways and colours brought about by evocative atmospheres come together on the media through freely expressed emotions, emitting energy that captivates the viewer.
Maurizio D’Andrea’s art can be translated into a fluid flow of energy and colour between artist and canvas. His works feature a continuous push and pull of fluctuating colours, in an ideal world comprised of faces, feelings and appeals to nature where the colour is hidden by light veils, by the transparency that almost muffles the vision of the work. Like a life coach, this artist deals with strong and particularly intense themes, thus expressing his desire to direct the viewer towards thoughts and feelings of hope and love, towards the planet and towards himself.
He has never felt like an artist but always wanted to be one.
