Marina (2023) Painting by Agostino Cancogni

Agostino Cancogni was born in Forte dei Marmi (LU) on November 26, 1950. He graduated from the Artistic Lyceum of Carrara and, at the age of 19, entered the Academy of Sculpture, from which he graduated with honors.
He has received numerous awards. His works are currently found in collections in Italy and abroad (Arabia, England, Switzerland, Germany and America).
Equipped with remarkable gifts and a natural talent, Cancogni has been able to cultivate them with passionate studies of anatomy and classical drawing.
The artist also devoted himself to sculpture, an ancient and profound love passed on to him by his father, also a sculptor. Passed through various thematic cycles, from the surreal to a naturalism of Caravaggio's imprint, Cancogni today arrives at those interests of form-light-color dear to the culture of art.
The observation of the environmental reality is part of the daily experience in Agostino Cancogni's painting, and it is certain that we can speak of a real form of intimism, when the artist collects himself by cultivating for a long time the his secret emotions that arise from contact with things and shapes that are familiar to him.
