Massimo Mollica Nardo
Italy
Born in 1977 in La Maddalena, a small town in Sardinia (Italy) where I currently live and work. I have always cultivated a deep passion for drawing and figurative art in all its forms. From a young age I have undertaken this path as a self-taught, trying and experimenting, over the years, different techniques.
Always fascinated by the human figure and the portrait, I have tried to constantly deepen this fantastic world, trying to capture the essence of the figure itself in my paintings.
In 2018, almost by chance, I entered the pictorial world of dry pastel and it was immediately love. I start attending courses and workshops with internationally renowned artists, feeling this technique more and more mine and still continuing to study the figure in a more academic way, attending schools and academies such as the Barcelona Academy of Realistic Art, enriching my technical background more and more.
