With an exotic name like his, we believed artist Alessandro Starnino could only be Italian. We could not have been more wrong… 29 Years old Alessandro was born in Zurich, Switzerland, and has lived there all his life. Still we weren’t that far off, because the blood of ‘la bella Italia’ runs through his veins, and maybe that explains, besides his name, also his passion for art. It did however take him some time to realize that art is what fulfills his life.
Alessandro followed a 3-year training in a bank and has been working as an account system specialist ever since then. Eventhough not the kind of life he would like to live, it does help him to realize his dreams. Both on canvas as in real life. Alessandro has decided to return to the school banks and is going to follow a 3-year intensive study which eventually will give him his Bachelor in Design Management, and the freedom to live his life the way he really wants to: with painting.
All Alessandro Starnino’s work is inspired by the elements that make him the happy person he is: people, nature and life in general. He claims that “it's beautiful to be inspired by simple things and find a kind of answer on the canvas.” It is also beautiful to look at these paintings and find the happiness of ‘le bell’ Alessandro Starnino.
brilliant when that occurs....i'd worked on something on-the-side showcasing different artists work, such as the wonderful work that you've presented here. unfortunately, here in the states -- at present -- one has the absolutely magnificent displeasure of working with stupid cunts who wreak of the stench of bigots, racist idiots, or discriminatory assholes. great that he's had that digit and numbers experience. it helps with the understandable gas prices when studies are complete and this transfers over to immensely stupid media productions posing as something with depth beyond scratching the surface. the fetid smell of discrimination will never carry the option of true kaleidoscopic vision. his paintings are wonderful, but they need to be seen in person -- perhaps to truly appreciate them beyond the delusion of this medium.
