___
Matteo Casali (Italy, 1994) is an artist in the field of visual arts, working with paintings and signs, but also experimenting with photography and video. In his pictorial works, Casali seeks the synthesis of mark-stain and the rapidity of execution to capture the immediacy and poetry of the moment, whether it be a landscape or a portrait. The exploration of the loss of identity experienced by a place or a body, and the renewed truth they find in a new balance, whether it is pictorial or digital, forms the foundation of Casali’s studio.
Fascinated by new technologies, he studies innovative methods to collaborate, work, and exhibit remotely. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, studying under Prof. Carlo di Raco, Prof. Martino Scavezzon in Atelier F and Prof. Luca Reffo in Atelier 12, he has been collaborating since 2020 with Art Galleries all over Italy and curator of NOTSpace virtual collective.
Matteo Casali currently works and studies in Venice, Italy.
