Matteo Casali Caramello

Born in 1994 in Schio, Italy. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice in 2022, primarily focused on painting, while also involved in sculpture, photography, and video art. Currently working full-time in Venice, he also serves as the curator of the NOTSpace virtual collective. He won awards in art competitions, including the 2022 Padova Start Award, and has received attention from galleries and art critics across Italy.

Matteo’s painting style is figurative and emotionally expressive. His work is influenced by masters like Bacon and Munch, and he captures the sense of loneliness and inner struggle of individuals in modern society, deeply exploring themes of self-identity and interpersonal relationships. At the same time, he has developed his own unique artistic language, using quick brushstrokes and color expressions to capture the immediacy and beauty of the moment, making his work authentic and poetic.
