C'era una volta la piccola fiammiferaia (2017) Drawing by Gian Roberto Tognetti

Hello everyone,
My name is Gian Roberto Tognetti, I am a multifaceted soul or first and foremost a painter, a poet and then a data scientist (Data Scientist, Environmental Statistician, Medical Statistician), independent in both thought and role.
I was born in the province of Rome in 1978, I graduated from 'Sapienza University of Rome' in "Statistics and Information Technologies" and then a master's degree in "Statistical and Decision Sciences", again at the same university.
In this regard, I can say that the union between art and science generates something mystical, an alchemy of the sense of the forgotten senses, the common root of parallel universes, silences in search of a taciturn noise, freedom in painting an apple in an apple.
The enlightening vocation and natural artistic predisposition in drawing and oil painting were my authentic masters, in my heartfelt surrealist journey undertaken independently or self-taught.
The oil painting evokes in me a cryptic dreamlike essence of a full moon, an ancient alchemy of the soul that perpetuates through the eyes of the stars.
Regarding pencil drawing, I can say that chiaroscuro is one of the artistic techniques I prefer to create those surreal noir atmospheres, steeped in a poetic romanticism of the past, a cosmic vision of being and never of appearing, darkness that illuminates the truth of boundless shadows.
I quote this poem of mine, as it describes me both as a person and as an artist, more than a thousand words:
Flight of an eagle in the silent abyss of sun and moon,
rainbow feathers in memory of every dream against the wind,
where I tried at the same time to live in dusk and dawn,
that alchemical time of stardust and rose petal crystals,
piano without keys to try the melody of the perpetual and mute soar,
towards those peaks forever unexplored by every reason.
