No Timelines (2021) Painting by Gianluca Fascetto

Gianluca Fascetto is a contemporary Italian artist, born in 1983 in the quaint town of Cinigiano in the Tuscan Maremma, specifically Grosseto. From an early age, he exhibited a profound passion for drawing and art, which eventually led him to discover painting at the tender age of nine.

One summer afternoon, while engrossed in art teaching books, Fascetto stumbled upon a painting that would forever alter the course of his life – Giovanni Fattori's "Libecciata." Enthralled by its beauty, Fascetto attempted to reproduce it on canvas with his fingers, completely losing track of time in the process. It was in that moment that he realized his irrevocable connection to painting; a passion that would shape his artistic journey for years to come.

As a teenager, Fascetto was introduced to the world of tattoos by older friends, an experience that left him utterly captivated. Eager to incorporate this newfound fascination into his artistic endeavors, he embarked on a journey of self-teaching, experimenting with tattoo artistry. His journey progressed with a regional course and initial attempts, first on his own skin and later on that of friends.

Beyond being a painter and a tattoo artist, Fascetto sees himself primarily as an artist who reproduces what has deeply resonated with him. He views art as a profound exchange of energy and information, reflecting the millions of years of evolution encapsulated within each individual's DNA. To Fascetto, art serves as a tangible extension of the mind, heart, and soul, embodying the essence of human experience and expression.
