Claudio Missagia ‘Cavallino’ Tablo TÜYB 115x115cm

Claudio Missagia

Claudio Missagia, born in 1959, after his university studies Missaggia began to devote himself entirely to painting. At the end of the 1980s he began exhibiting in Italy, France, England, Germany and the United States.

Although his works are characterised by the inclusion of objects and fruit, each of these elements is far from being a privileged subject in the composition. The first hints of ‘still life’ are found in some frescoes from the Roman period with the first compositions of inanimate objects.

But it is an Italian painter, Caravaggio, who can, perhaps, be considered the greatest example of this type of painting, and it is another Italian, Giorgio Morandi, who is the artist who symbolises ‘still life’, making this genre his most representative stylistic achievement.

Claudio Missagia is an Italian artist, who works in France and Italy.

Through his paintings, he expresses the profound poetry that can be witnessed in everyday life.

Empty carafes, scattered flowers, a spring landscape are all opportunities to restore a dreamlike vision that belongs only to him.

Missagia works with canvasses made from burlap or cotton and uses diverse materials as the foundation for his compositions, which he usually executes in oil, acrylic, pastels, ink or pencil.

Missagia has exhibited extensively all over Italy and Europe in places such as Paris, London, Stockholm, Madrid or Vienna, as well as in New York and in Asia.

He has participated to many art fairs, notably The Affordable Art Fair in both London and Singapore.
