Edoardo Ettorre was born in L’Aquila in 1994. After attending the Liceo Scientifico Marie Curie in Giulianova (TE), he enrolled at the L’Aquila Academy of Fine Arts in 2013. During his years at the academy, he began to approach painting: a spontaneous, gestural painting that is still the hallmark of his paintings. In 2015/16 and 2018/19 he lives in Valencia (Spain) and attends the UPV (Universitat Politecnica de Valencia) thanks to the ‘Erasmus’ programme. He experiments with several fields of visual arts, being particularly fascinated by installation and street art, expressions that often coexist in his works. Hand in hand with his experience abroad, an interest in the dynamics of modern society and social criticism begins to manifest itself in his works. In February 2020, he obtained his second level diploma at the Academy of Fine Arts in L’Aquila. He currently devotes himself to predominantly pictorial research, jumping from small paintings to large murals. Using different techniques, he paints familiar images captured every day by our gazes, now attentive now distracted, such as a waitress on the phone or a snapshot of an evening with friends. His poetics focuses on the relationship between the individual and society, on aspects of the ‘pre-packaged’ world in which we live. Questioning these issues leads the spectator to reflect, using the tones of sarcasm.
