About the Item

Traduci in inglese Nasce a Oggiono nel 1980. Dopo il diploma accademico ottenuto con il massimo dei voti con lode presso l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, si specializza con il massimo dei voti con lode in pittura presso l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara. La sua ricerca artistica lo indirizza subito verso la resa naturalistica della figura umana e in particolare viene attratto dal linguaggio pittorico utilizzato dai Maestri del Seicento Italiano , chiamato tecnicamente “pittura a risparmio”. Dal 2005 inizia una intensa attività espositiva sia in Italia che all’estero. Nel 2015 realizza una mostra con il relativo workshop sul tema della pittura Italiana Seicentesca in Russia, presso la galleria Triumph di Mosca , e successivamente negli USA , presso la Fontbonne University di st. Louis Missouri. Nella medesima Università realizza un corso sulla pittura Caravaggesca. Nel 2016, in dialogo con il Getty Museum, realizza una mostra con il relativo workshop presso l’Istituto Italiano di cultura di Los Angeles sul tema della pittura Rinascimentale. Da allora è proseguita in Italia e all’estero sia la sua attività accademica che quella artistica, realizzando numerose opera su commissione, ultima delle quali “Gigantomachia” una pittura murale di oltre 200 mq presso la Galleria Vik in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele a Milano. Since 2005, he has engaged in extensive exhibition activities both in Italy and abroad. In 2015, he organized an exhibition along with a related workshop on the theme of Italian Seicento painting in Russia at the Triumph Gallery in Moscow, and subsequently in the USA at Fontbonne University in St. Louis, Missouri. At the same university, he conducted a course on Caravaggesque painting. In 2016, in collaboration with the Getty Museum, he organized an exhibition along with a related workshop at the Italian Institute of Culture in Los Angeles on the theme of Renaissance painting. Since then, both his academic and artistic activities have continued in Italy and abroad, creating numerous commissioned works, the latest of which is "Gigantomachia," a mural painting spanning over 200 square meters at the Galleria Vik in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan.

  • Hitchhiker
    Located in Milano, MI
    After touring Europe on a motorcycle, he arrived in Berlin in 2012, where he won a residence for artists with a pictorial series on massification and nihilism. In 2014 he was invited for a residence in Colombia, and subsequently he has travelled to Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba. The experience of Central America affects his painting so much that it becomes gestural and dominated by strong and bright colors. Contact with indigenous communities contributed to the formation of his thought and poetics, which suggests accessing an irrational dimension that cannot be explored through science and technology.

  • Oltremare 6
    Located in Milano, MI
    I am not afraid to define it as a metaphysical painting, - says Angelo Crespi - and right in the suffix "beyond" (in Greek "meta") also of the title "Oltremare" the intent to climb over the wall of the sensible and the real is revealed. There is another vein to which the new paintings of Nahmad refer and it is that of Romanticism, in the strong idea that art should represent the sublime, not the beautiful. The skies like John Constable, thick with purplish blue clouds (such as "Rainstorm over the Sea" of 1828 which anticipates by a century modernity), the stormy seas like William Turner, give the viewer the idea of infinity and vastness of nature compared to the finitude and misery of the human. If Caspar Friedrich...
