Ivan Spanò
He was born on 21 November 1982 in Cinquefrondi province of Calabria. He graduated in Communication Sciences in Messina and later graduated from the Swiss Italian University in 2007. Self-taught, for some years he has been testing the creation of different artistic techniques, expressing himself through sculpture creating dreamlike figures and painting, creating contemporary works using different techniques and materials such as: fabrics, expansive foam, concrete, stucco, iron, glass, clay and wood. Years later in his last works he merged painting and technical sculpture called picto-sculptures that he defines as a perfect combination for his artistic career. His art comes from a continuous introspective communication of the soul and from the inspiration of the various vicissitudes of daily life, as well as from a continuous confrontation of these with his past. "I try to express fundamental concepts such as the perception of life through colors ans matters, expressing it in an abstract and pure way, where the technique assumes the consistency of thought, creating a voluntary paradox "
