Marco Scarpi

Biography

Marco Scarpi (b.1998, San Donà di Piave) grew up in Cavallino-Treporti, a peninsular Venetian town. He completed a BA in illustration and Visual Media at UAL LLC, before moving back to Italy where he met Caio Twombly and started working with Spazio Amanita. In his art, he uses a visual pictorial language characterized by careful research and experimentation of textures and materials. In recent years he has become increasingly interested in the representation of the human body, projected through its shapes and movements. He focuses on subjects belonging to the real world, distorted by their original context and inserted in his personal artistic vision composed of memories and free association of ideas. In each work, his goal is to create a structure for thought and feeling that is both universal and specific.
