ANTIMO BERTOLINO - CONCEPT by Anna Radaelli In the works of Antimo Bertolino, the conscious and impeccable technique in the carved wooden panels, painted with acrylic colours, is the result of a self-taught path that sees the work of restorer coexist with that of the artist, reuniting contemporary artistic production with that of great workshops of the past. Antimo has had several masters from diverse artistic fields; the result is a cross contamination certainly attributable to Art Nouveau, learned through the techniques of the goldsmith and antique furniture restoration, as well as by more modern artistic movements: Spatialism, Op Art and Minimalism, that are all present in the artist's sculptures. At first glance, the works appear as paintings, given their creation on wooden panels; however in taking the time to observe the carved waves inside them, they reveal new paths to the observer. Starting from the physical experience, transmitted by the visual sense, the mind calms down and with it any attempt to conceptualise the work. We let ourselves be carried away by the sensual enjoyment given by the movement of the monochrome colour, made alive and iridescent by the carvings that refract the light and by the interior space that suddenly finds itself aligned and part of the exterior. The work is therefore a mirror that amplifies and reverberates the physical and mental world of those who observe the fractals, the waves, the lights and the colours that turn from two-dimensional objects into real sculptures; within them there is not only the third dimension (depth) but also the fourth (time) and the other dimension, namely that of the observer, protagonist together with the work, in their own perceptible and the perceived world.

The purity and potential of a blank canvas are both exciting and intimidating. I use bold, vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes to create works that are both visually striking and emotionally moving. My paintings reflect my innermost thoughts and feelings, and I strive to capture the essence of the human experience in each piece. I am particularly drawn to the beauty of nature, and my works often depict landscapes and seascapes that are both serene and powerful. With my art, I seek to challenge traditional notions of beauty and perfection. I believe that imperfection is what makes us human, and I celebrate the raw, authentic aspects of life in my paintings. My works are a visual representation of the emotions and experiences we all share, and I hope they resonate with viewers on a deep level. Through my art, I invite you to join me on a journey of self-discovery and exploration. What you see is what you get, and what you get is a glimpse into the soul of an artist who is unafraid to embrace the beauty of imperfection.
