Biography
Salvo Di Stefano was born in Rosolini (SR) 3 May 1967. Soon after, due to the father's job transfer, the family moved to Gela where he remained for some time until the first years of university, after which he returned the hometown. Although her work was inherent to the IT field, his mind, not rational, finds inspiration in the study of the great painting and especially in manual reading of Caravaggio regarded by the largest representative among them. She begins the first steps by portraying what is part of his life, his past inspired by French impressionism treated in a modern way. He is delighted to call himself "a dauber of canvases while the artists are quite another thing!" But despite his humility, still unable to understand that his dirty cloths can transmit those vibrations which he feels in the moment that he paints. Precisely for this reason that which is born as a time to relax and then be cut out in his spare time, it became more and more a moment of everyday life.
critical note
The works by the artist Salvo Distefano: The artist's palette is influenced of his land: Sicily, warm colors, bright, sharp, Mediterranean ... Distefano likes to test himself and uses different painting techniques (spatulas brushes, pencils, inks ), the favorite subjects are horses (his passion) but there are landscapes and seascapes. His style can be seen as a Impressionism in a modern way and in every painting you can pick a different state of mind given by touch and by the range of colors used.
