IVAN PRETI

proposes it in the balance of shapes and colours, renewing it completely and aiming at abstractionism. “For my abstract painting, I did not take my inspiration directly from contemporary painting (although there was undoubtedly an influence), but I feel that I have developed my own completely personal way of expression, in which I am helped by my knowledge of classical painting and the rules that govern it; this allows me to treat the abstract with a certain amount of awareness of the balance and the right combination of shapes and colours to use each time”, as the artist says.

He also makes small and large decorative tiles to be used as ornaments or to cover walls with originality.

The spirit of the experimental artist can be felt everywhere in his home: various manual techniques accompany the creation of his works, but nothing digital. Because Ivan, who has also worked in an architecture studio making freehand drawings, still believes in the manual development of things. He does not delegate to the computer what he wants to create but gets his hands dirty in his powders, uses brushes, spatulas and other tools that allow him to give depth to his creations, obtaining a three-dimensional effect that accentuates the shadows. And they convey all the enthusiasm of this young artist and, precisely because of that, they excite.
