DICÒ, born in Rome in 1964, received his artistic training at Rome’s Institute of Art on Via Ripetta. He began to attend artists’ studios and workshops, where he absorbed a variety of influences, from the materic to the figurative, and from the geometric to the conceptual. All of this was to help him in his early artistic experiments, an extremely diverse range of works. He was especially fascinated by the vast array of experiences and materials present on the Rome art scene at the time. Meanwhile, he discovered new opportunities in advertising and successfully dedicated himself to commercial graphic design, an experience that would prove immensely useful to his later forms of aesthetic expression.
Curious and multi-talented by nature, he felt the need to broaden his creative horizons and traveled to America where he would later live, sometimes for long periods. Pop Art became his favorite point of reference, and all the innovative color and visual influences that he absorbed would shortly come together to create his own original creative style.
After returning to Rome, he fully immersed himself in experimenting with new techniques and materials, and in doing so he developed what would become his signature style from that moment on: the combustion of Plexiglass.
A regenerative synthesis that allows him to breathe new life and new meaning into contemporary legends.
