Biography
Mejo, born August 29, 1982 in Padua (Italy), is an art lover in all its entirety. A curious observer of everyday life, of living things and emotions he feels.
"Live everything is the key. You have to experience and experiment yourself. This is the way to increase knowledge, even to understand the harshness of life, the life of every day" he says.
In Mejo's point of view, Art is inside all sensitive people, in a positive or negative mood, Art is exhibit to the other the lived emotion, the swallowed pain, a denunciation os something, in his case the society. All of these through means that could be painting, sculpture, poetry ecc...each one knows where to flow better this epassion and concept's escaping.
His painting is essential, minimal, impulsive,almost raw, deforming,determined and instinctive, with a deliberately infant approach to the figure. There are not "best ways" for him to express what he sees and what he complains like his works!
Collage-style painting on canvas and pressed paper.
“ I try to express what I live and feel every single day, on the road... collecting the emotions that penetrate me, and then spread it on the canvas or other material.. in a minimal way, almost raw, with impulsive and instinctive movement.”
