INTERVIEW | Marco Almaviva

INTERVIEW | Marco Almaviva

Marco Almaviva (1934 -) is an Italian painter, the protagonist of a long artistic journey that began in Milan in the early 1960s. Evolving from a testament to life's drama, his practice, which he named Filoplastica, became a metaphor for continuous research that plunges into the depths of matter. His works are effectively "oils on canvas" produced without the canvas to paint on.
