Luigi Profeta was born on July 13, 1969, and he currently works and lives in Cormano in Milan, Italy. Luigi’s oeuvre is defined by an exploration into light, geometry and colour which is investigated through various mediums including painting, sculpture and photography. Developing a natural propensity towards art from a young age, Luigi achieves a perfect union between different modes of expression that he has long enjoyed and practiced in. In 1939, the artist opened a knitwear workshop with his wife, Rosella, where he created his first drawings and paintings. Eager to engage with his artistic potential more, and encouraged to continue by the master Alfonso Madaluni, he decided to close the knitwear workshop and devote himself exclusively to art. Not long after, Luigi has a successful solo show, his debut exhibition, which launches his professional journey in the art world. Influenced by artists such as Kandinsky, who demonstrated geometric and compositional rigor, his works are pictosculptures, carefully studied and meditated. The works conceal the artist’s soul between shapes and colours. A cathartic soul seeks to externalize his emotions through collective psychology, that is, to speak not only of himself but of each of us. Luigi usitilises his photography experience to collaborate with private laboratories and national photographers. He is offered various works on commission that allows him to continue to cultivate the dream of painting. In 2004, he begins providing photography and paint classes for artists who wish to learn new techniques. Over the years, this has become a daily activity. He performs demonstrations in schools and kindergartens, in the same years. In 2013, he founded the Artistic Cultural Center Click Art, where he is president and art director. In 2015 he founded the artistic movement Psicoavanguardia. He has to his credit more than 200 personal and collective exhibitions. His works of art are in international collections including in Albania, Armenia, Belgium, France, Greece, Germany, Italy, Massachusetts, Netherlands, Spain, Swiss, and Taiwan.
