My name is Alessandro Francescatti,

I love fine Arts since I was a child, drawing and painting was what I liked best at school.

As soon as possible I attended the Art Institute, then I graduated in Fine Arts, in Milano at NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti).

I obtained in July 2019 a Master in Painting and Visual Arts at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera.

My objective is to transfer my sensations and my impressions, to make people feel what I feel and share my passions.

So, beside the fact I choose Painting as Master Specialisation, I use any technique and material I consider appropriate for the specific situation and subject.

So I had been using drawing, painting, sculpture and video, but I often look for new ways, new techniques to express what I have inside.

I used mixed techniques as collage, drawing and painting together, and I explored new materials and old expressive methods such as sewing and wire mesh.

For instance I did some compositions using animal horns: in fact you can draw with anything you have available when you are inspired.

And of curse, even using the same technique, you can get very different results, depending on the theme, the subject and the point in time it is done.

A characteristic of some of my works is the drawing of the colours using contrasting spots, something which go beyond the chiaroscuro effect and beyond the Macchiaioli’s technique.

For me the search for the "right" shade is very important, I try the colours’ shades again and again, until it satisfy the need of the moment.

In the end, the colours’ proofs become a work in the work, I've collected a lot of them, and every new work still produces news.

The recurring theme for me is nature, especially animals, a passion that I carry inside me since I was a child. One of my first drawings, made in the kindergarten, was my dog Miki in the green.

I hope to be able to pass on to you this love of mine for nature, for colour, for what is beautiful, because it is the thing I care about most.
