Biography

Andrea Cantieri was born in Catania on August 21st 1975 where he lives and works. A musician, strongly influenced and inspired by the world of jazz, he has made his mark from his own binomial artistry which unites sound and vision with unique purity.
Self-taught, he has concentrated his research from his early beginnings in the study of the figure, perpetually striving to haze the outlines.
The figure emerges from the strident contrast and the large, free and nervous pictorial gesture.
Jazz is his acquired style of life, the improvisation comes from deep within himself. The synthesis is the pictorial achievement in a deduced configuration which opens the space to the imagination.
