About the artist

Andrea Buglisi is a Sicilian painter born in Palermo in 1974. He graduated in Decoration at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1998 with a thesis on Street Art. Since 2005 he teaches Painting Disciplines at the Liceo Artistico E. Catalano in Palermo. Actively involved in urban renewal projects, he describes his research as follows: "A kind of visual trap. I tend to lure the viewer with captivating images in terms of color and composition that wink at design and advertising. However, at a deeper level of reading we see something restless that, through the privileged trace of irony, conveys a critical message to society with its conventions and collective neuroses." His work often addresses social and political issues, blending realism with surreal and symbolic elements. Buglisi's art frequently explores themes of identity, memory, and collective consciousness, reflecting the complexities of urban life. He draws inspiration from history, literature, and pop culture, using bold colors and intricate details to engage viewers emotionally and intellectually.
