biography
Antonino Parrimuto is an Italian iconic painter born in Turin in 1966. From an early age, his passion for drawing has remained with him: he always has a pencil in his hand and prefers to draw everything he sees live, his eyes observe carefully and his hand slides on the paper.
At first they were simple pencils and charcoals, then the colors took over giving him the opportunity to describe what was his most intimate essence, his feelings, his emotions, his deepest moods. Acrylic and oil colors become his favorites, a modern and bright painting that favors faces and bodies with some brief digressions towards the abstract.
Le tele, inizialmente bianche, diventano quindi simili a pagine di un libro da riempire, dove i colori sostituiscono le parole che scrivono i capitoli della sua vita. L'artista ha sempre sostenuto che l'opera non debba parlare o, addirittura, sussurrare, ma bensì "urlare" ogni emozione che ha dentro di sé, deve uscire prepotentemente e giungere limpida a chi la guarda, indipendentemente da che tipo di sensazione susciti, sia essa gioia, amore, tormento, tristezza o felicità.... Deve arrivare a noi un qualcosa e deve arrivare subito: al primo sguardo, questa è l'essenza più profonda delle opere di Antonino Parrimuto."
