Biography
Michele Petrelli's painting, which shows a complex mastery of the subject, is clearly influenced from the world of sci-fi and occult. He loves strong signs of the palette knife and the sign of graphite, matching few colours of the same brightness but of different shades and ranges. Expressionist and impressionist reinterpretations lead artist to an introspective reflection which will get him to see himself in one surrealist world. Despite the beneficial influences of the past, its maturation will makes him an original creator of an his iconographic language. The design is dominant and emerges from his chromatic painting board, becoming more often the primary importance for the composition. The subjects of his later paintings are mysterious and disturbing characters, transfigurations of common people, deities or aliens. Among his works, virtual installations and sculptures are innovative, completing and permeating his art.
