Monnalisa cravings on black (2020) Painting by Giuseppe Valia

I have always drawn, as a child drawing was my playmate because due to allergies I often couldn't go out and play with other children. In adolescence, I began my career as a graffiti artist, starting to paint large walls and then moving on to the pure and raw train-bombing (painstakingly painting the subway lines). I continued to do graffiti until the age of 25 until I saw everything blue. My work is the mental synthesis of what I live, feel, see. My technique is mixed and consists of spray cans with cement, oil, acrylics, inks, the canvas itself or the wood that make up the painting. Through all these means I express my painting as I use them composing and using them all together. This can be seen from the scratches, holes, tears and patches present in almost every one of my canvases. In fact, he is stronger than me; I have to force the support on which I paint to "do" what I want at any cost.
