Biography
SALVATORE MORGANTE born in Agrigento in 1976.
Eclectic artist, self-taught, for several years is interested in painting, through a continuous and relentless pursuit of style, techniques and forms of expression.
Spontaneous aesthete, lover of matter, researcher of emotions, and photographer of states of the soul; his works are made up of contrasts: uncertainty and certainty, depth and elevation to light, rationality and inspiration, colours and shadows, movement and immobility.
The innate vocation to the impalpable and the great curiosity that distinguishes him has led Salvatore Morgante to explore as many disciplines as possible, placing art and order as the main guide-line of his thought.
Expert knowledge of colour and proportions - also thanks to his professional graphic designer and art director activities which lasted a decade – has a passion for photography and video shooting techniques.
The multidisciplinary interests, the research of obsessions, and a structural phyllotaxis of thought have helped to create a complex and articulated figure, detached from the social spirit, able to observe in a lucid and analytical manner, devoid of intellectual anxieties.
A "normal" artist, Salvatore Morgante, whose normality becomes a filter between himself and others, creates a unique individualism, reflective, that rejects the concept of "crazy" and "dissolute" artist in favour of an artist-man who inevitably is forced to create to be alive.
My art is made of moments, feelings, emotions.
Moods that are poured on the canvas through color, matter, gesture. An irresistible impulse forces me to create my life and my art are now one.
Everything is a source of inspiration: a phrase, a thought, a sound, a smell, a color. Points, time and space affect my creations, made part. The creative moment is a succession of cogitation and instinct. Thousands of different moments, discordant stimuli and contrasting colors allow me to show the world what gives me life from within. Sometimes it is a cry, others a sigh, others contemplation. But he is still living.
My art speaks to the hearts, minds and above all to the soul: a soul that lives, individually, the groove and leave the matter in the eye and, I hope, also in the heart.
