Infinito (2006) Malarstwo autorstwa Sandro Cocco

I'm born in 1973 in Antwerp (Belgium). My father was Sardinian and my mother Flemish. I started with studying Illustration (1993) where I learned the basic techniques. Observation, light and shadow, perspective, color and the use of drawing and painting materials but I choose to study Painting (1994) the next year because I wanted to explore my personal expression. During my studies of Painting (1994-1998) I studied two years observation by nature: nude, still life and interiors that ended in blind observation drawings. In the third year I started to make my own work. I started exploring 'Blind Drawing' and 'Automatic Drawing' and soon began to explore other mediums like Printing, Sculpture, Installation and Video. In the fourth year I felt the need to explore narration and this resulted in graduating with 20 digital Photo Montages. I continued three years to make Photo Montages (1999-2001). Exploring narration, I decided to study Comic and Illustration in (2001-2003). I published a Graphic Novel and a few short stories in magazines but I felt the need to make 'free' artworks again without any boundaries of expression. So in 2004 I started to make abstract 'Amorphous' drawings' again in 'Automatic Drawing mode'. In 2005 by visiting a friend who had a Surrealist like painting hanging on his wall. The use of figurative symbols in that painting invited me to reflect on my Amorphous abstract work and this was the beginning of my series 'Imaginary Rooms' in which I use visual recognisable motives. For me it's some kind of diary in 'Automatic drawing mode' but I hope to communicate with the viewer.
