We met Armando Moreschi, a painter and collage maker whose self-taught career spans more than five decades of creation. Based in Rome, Moreschi develops a rich and protean body of work, oscillating between painting, collages, and performances, where each gesture expresses an intimate reflection on the world and on the self. Through this encounter, we were able to delve into the world of a constantly evolving artist, whose curiosity and experimentation shape a body of work that is both unique and profoundly poetic.
