Biography
Alessandro Marroni lives and works in Rome, where he was born in 1971.
He graduated from the “Federico Caffè” technical commercial high school.
Always passionate about painting and drawing, firstly as a hobby and later as a focal point in his life, he has developed artistic and technical competence over the years.
He was captivated by art as a young child, using tempera to paint landscapes of his holidays among mountains, forests and valleys.
His work represents the culmination of intensive experimentation with expressive and chromatic effects.
He has been described as an expressionist with a strong sense of realism and an innate sense of colour; his canvases range from landscapes and scenes of uncontaminated nature through to views of lands he has travelled to, rendered with dedicated attention to detail.
His works seek to convey a narrative, an emotion, a pursuit, a sensation, the essence of a concept, an idea, a feeling or simply colour … lots of colour.
He paints to experience freedom, because art is the channel that enables him to express himself without gestures, to speak without words … Sunsets are among his favourite subjects, as they express the triumph of beauty and colour.
Observing a sunset is like learning a new way of seeing. A new way of being in the world, of wonder, the depth of which leaves you “without words” and distils into silence.
The eyes of those who observe intensely see everything as if for the first time, see everything as new, everything as a surprise.
Some of his works are atmospheric, as indistinct and transient as the changing outline of clouds, and while the viewer may react as if lost, it is a displacement that should be nurtured, for it is full of promises and new horizons.
