Mauro Filigheddu

Strongly informed by lively, colorful patterns and forms, painter Mauro Filigheddu speaks to a variety of themes and ideas in his intriguing works. Intoxicated by the rich diversities of human creativity and expression, he seeks to represent every facet of his self in sumptuously vibrant paintings. Filigheddu’s works sparkle with opulence and brilliance, his paint applied in thick, bravura abstract expressionistic strokes. Having been an artistic child and an imaginative adult, Filigheddu began painting in earnest by studying the quick, bright brushwork and lyrical immediacy of the Impressionists. It was a natural interest and influence, as the artist says of his childhood that he remembers mostly “the colors and sounds and words of life. I’ve been always attracted by creativity, in every shape.” Like the works of Monet and Van Gogh, these paintings speak to the poetry of a moment. In this way, they urge the viewer to breathe in the vitality of life, and search for their own individual expressionistic voice. 

Mauro Filigheddu lives and works in Italy, where he has been honored for his painting.
