Artists and Movements

There is an Italian painter who knew how to transform elegance into art and dreams into portraits. His name is Vittorio Matteo Corcos, and he painted the grace, ambiguity, and desire of an era like no other. Born in Livorno in 1859, Corcos trained first in Florence, then in Naples, where he came into contact […]

If modern art exists, it owes much to Paul Cézanne. A solitary, stubborn and deeply innovative painter, Cézanne was one of those artists who worked quietly, without fanfare, but with a very clear idea in mind: to reinvent painting starting from nature and the gaze. Born in Aix-en-Provence in 1839 and died in 1906, Cézanne […]

The story of Jack Vettriano, born Jack Hoggan, seems to come straight from the pages of a novel from another era. Bornin 1951 in the county of Fife, on the east coast of Scotland overlooking the North Sea, he grew up in a modest family linked to the mining industry. From an early age, he […]

At the heart of the Venetian Renaissance shines an enigmatic and poetic figure: Giorgione, born Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco, a silent but revolutionary protagonist of sixteenth-century art. Little is known about him, and it is precisely this aura of mystery that has fuelled the fascination that still surrounds his figure and his works today. According […]

There are encounters that will never happen in reality, but which continue to occur every time we pause in front of a work of art. It happens when time slows down, when the museum ceases to be a silent space and becomes a place of dialogue. Impossible Encounters stems precisely from this. From the desire […]

Poet, writer and art critic, Guillaume Apollinaire was one of the most complex and fascinating figures in early 20th-century European culture. Born in Rome in 1880 and died in Paris in 1918, Apollinaire embodied the restless spirit of a changing era, becoming one of the most lucid and visionary interpreters of artistic modernity. His real […]

Some people use art to decorate their walls, while others, like Terry Atkinson, use it as an intellectual mine ready to explode in the mind of the viewer. Born in 1939 in Thurnscoe (Yorkshire), Atkinson is much more than an artist: he is a thinker who has transformed art into a battlefield between words, images, […]

How often, when talking about the Renaissance, do the usual big names come to mind? Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo… yet Italy is dotted with lesser-known but extraordinary artists who deserve to be mentioned. One of these is Boccaccio Boccaccino, described by Giorgio Vasari in his famous Lives as a “rare” and “excellent painter”. A master who […]

Some interviews are special from the outset. The interview with Alice Lotti is a dialogue that spans form, colour, the city and vision. It is the voice of a designer, illustrator and street artist who has managed to combine thought and mark, aesthetics and commitment, public projects and personal research. She described her studio surrounded […]

There are encounters that are unforgettable, and this is one of them. Studi d’artista today opens up a special conversation with Jago, an artist who needs no introduction, but who has agreed to really listen. What you are about to read is not just a dialogue, but a real encounter with a man and an […]

If, like me, you have ever had the feeling that a photograph could speak to you — without words, but with all the power of humanity — then you have already encountered Steve McCurry. You may not know it, but you have known him forever. You know his eyes. In fact, you know the most […]

In an age where everything moves quickly — images, scrolls, digital content — artist Mario Stefano chooses slowness. His paintings are not shown in their entirety on social media, nor are they captured on a screen: they are experienced live, breathed in up close. In this new interview for Studi d’artista, Mario Stefano tells us […]
