… To paint is to tell what I feel, what strikes me. Nature is the protagonist of my paintings, I love to paint from life to capture the essence, the emotion in the colors that overlap and blend into each other …
This is how Agostino Veroni’s painting was born, it is he himself who explains it. It comes from color, from the contrasts between lights and shadows, from the brushstrokes that alternate on each other, in an incessant becoming, in the need to grasp the moment, pure emotion, true, living reality.
Agostino Veroni was born in Livorno in 1963, from an early age he showed interest in drawing and colors. At the age of sixteen, the meeting with Maestro Ferruccio Mataresi marks the first decisive step in his artistic career. He soon began attending the Master’s studio with whom he studied classical drawing. But Veroni doesn’t stop at drawing, the desire to express himself through color and material takes on more and more importance. Maestro Giulio da Vicchio encourages him to follow his instinct as a colourist.
