Samuele Calosi

After high school, I studied at the Dipartiment of Scenography of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, where I was born and lived my formative years. Though I have experimented with many painting techniques over the years, Indian ink remains my preferred method, in parallel with my final conversion to Forlk art, mainly related to peasant culture and civiliziation. The large hands, the main tools of hard and strenuous labor, force the figures into a general dysmorphism that breaks all rules of anatomical and compositional proportion and, in a context of perspective and compositional simplification, recalls Naïf art.
