Press Release

Painter Ferdinando Di Maso is steeped in conceptualism, seeking to find and fashion new ways of seeing and interpreting the world around him. Di Maso’s works, meticulously and skillfully crafted, are emblems encouraging enlightened thinking. Color pulsates off Di Maso’s canvases, careening into our vision through exact, Surrealist-inspired smoothness of shape. Formal concern is secondary, however to Di Maso's attention to visually explore the conception of human thought. “I'm interested in creating ideas, concrete images that aren't connected to a particular experience.” states Di Maso. Ferdinando Di Maso lives and works in Italy.

Artist Statement

My artistic career is based on my mental pursuit of my art, drifting away from the traditional issues that art deals with. Instead of these matters, I'm interested in creating ideas, concrete images that aren't connected to a particular experience. After all, both the real and the surreal belong to the knowledge of man and should be understood to have knowledge of man. So, I try to discover the different ways that the mind can undertake to explore and discover, to generate the "thought", and this influences both my life and my art, and the way I produce and go about designing my work.
