WORK HISTORY

ABOUT SALVATORE PETRUCINO

Salvatore Petrucino, aka Totò. Always interested in art and passionate about chess, he began his pictorial journey in 2010. After a difficult period in his life, he felt the call of art and entered a small workshop in his city, where he remained for about a year, gaining his first experiences. He then decides to continue his adventure alone, experimenting with new painting techniques and participating in numerous exhibitions and competitions with excellent results. There are numerous solo exhibitions in his hometown Latina, while in 2016 after being selected, he participates in the Rome Biennale. In his paintings inspired by the surreal-metaphysical style, we find suggestive plays of shadows with which the artist tries to express his ideas, his moods and his deepest feelings: the shadows, absolute protagonists of his works, always different from the subject depicted, they allow dreams, emotions and daily fears to emerge. Chess, another dominant theme of his works, merging with the shadows to create imaginative images that aim to communicate a pure stimulus to the sensitivity of those who \'\' read \'\' his paintings.
