Amedeo Clemente Modigliani, (12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterized by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought-after. Modigliani spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance. In 1906, he moved to Paris, where he came into contact with such artists as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși. By 1912, Modigliani was exhibiting highly stylized sculptures with Cubists of the Section d'Or group at the Salon d'Automne.

Modigliani's oeuvre includes paintings and drawings. From 1909 to 1914, he devoted himself mainly to sculpture. His main subject was portraits and full figures, both in the images and in the sculptures. Modigliani had little success while alive, but after his death achieved great popularity. He died of tubercular meningitis, at the age of 35, in Paris.

Lula Goce is an all-rounder artist and a representative of the Spanish contemporary urban art scene. Born in 1976 in Baiona, Galicia, she moved in 1996 to Salamanca where she graduated in Fine Arts, specializing in painting. Later, and to pursue her studies, she moved again, this time to Barcelona where she followed a Ph.D. in Contemporary Art at the University of Barcelona and a Masters in Artistic Creation. Lula Goce’s life has always been linked to art. Today, not only does she produces art she also teaches it. For her murals, the female street artist merges different disciplines, placing her creations within the field of design, installation, and intervention in spaces. Her inspiration mostly comes from her surroundings and the environment of her work.

​

In her works there is the idea of nature, and how everyone has monsters within themselves. The presence of gargoyles and grifos represent our fears, our darkness, but at the same time, they are part of us. A good part of us. There’s a dialogue between the mythologic and the real. The myth is part of our history and that conditions our actions. This duality between the good and the bad is the guide in her work. The red is part of this duality, the violence, the fight with ourselves.


“I have a growing tendency to delve further into the depths of intimacy, and in doing this I get closer to the universal essence of the individual, sometimes with a certain satirical charge, sometimes with humor, but always in the background, there is a criticism of the consumer society and identity that each individual generates within that society.”

Flavio Rossi (b. 1979) has a bachelor degree in Fine Arts from PUC-Campinas,Brazil. His father first encouraged him to start drawing. At the beginning of his career he was an illustrator, then moved onto painting and sculpture and other mediums. Flavio, figurative and pop artist, owes his inspiration to great masters such as Lucien Freud, Jue Min Jun and Francis Bacon. The artist managed to create a very personal artistic language through female and male nudes, running on a neutral background or an infinite sky, engaged in mysterious grimaces and emotional situations between drama and extreme joy. During his months at the Espinasse31 Artist Residency, Flavio has used large format canvases experimenting with resin and various materials found around the construction site of Espinasse31. Such experimentations gave life to original pop interpretations, a sort of Street Art “Dada” of doors, toilets, and other objects.


A testimony on Flavio Rossi's experience at our Artist Residency program: "While I was vacationing in Paris with my wife, Antonio Castiglioni invited me to the Espinasse31 Artist Residency in Milan and also to meet him at his place in Monaco to talk about the project. Arriving in Monaco we went to a solo Exhibition of Francis Bacon - one of my favourite artists, it was already a sign of great inspiration. I very much appreciated the idea of the residency and the opportunity of exchanging with Italian and other artists, which made me then redefine the course of the trip, heading almost immediately to Milan."

Olga Lomaka (b.1982, Krasnodar) is a Russian contemporary artist and curator. Her style is known for working primarily within the pop-art movement, combining diverse materials and techniques in her pieces. Lomaka exhibits her artwork worldwide, actively participating in global art-fairs and biennales.

​

Her remarkable personal style is instantly recognizable, placing the viewer between the concrete and the abstract, the familiar and the unknown. Viewed through the prism of pop-art, the artist’s primary features include playing with recognizable images and products of consumerism and pooling together contrasting beliefs; this gives a second symbolic meaning to the images she produces. The artist is constantly experimenting with new techniques, carving, and aerography, mixing traditional materials and modern media in her creative process. Her artwork transcends the realm of painting, including a prominent series of installations and sculptures. Lomaka’s eye for the unordinary in everyday life allows her to truly reveal spiritual and social themes and concerns; threads of what we consider reality, along with hidden dimensions of consciousness and possibility, weave their way through.

​

Lomaka’s works can be found in Erarta Museum (St. Petersburg), Pierre Cardin Foundation (Lacoste), Contemporary Art Center “M17” (Kiev), Fine Art Foundation (London), Loyola University Foundation (Chicago), 25 Kadr Gallery Foundation (Moscow) as well as in private collections. She can be spotted showcasing her work annually in Basel Miami, Venice Biennale and The Royal Academy. The artist won the Best Contemporary Artist of the Year in 2017 (an award presented by Phillips Auction House in London) and is the winner of numerous art competitions and internationally-recognized awards. More recently, her series titled ‘Pink Magic’ was included in Grayson Perry-curated Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, featuring in The Sunday Times and The Guardian.

Fabio Pietrantonio was born in Torino, Italy on November 27, 1966. He started his artistic experience by organizing parties and happenings with particular themes in Ibiza (Spain), Porto Cervo (Sardinia), and Milano planning all the artwork of the decorations. In 1990 he had the opportunity to participate in several collective exhibitions with other Italian artists in Porto Cervo and Milano.​ In the following years, he travelled frequently to Australia where he studied art and made contacts with groups of artists and schools in Sydney, Byron Bay, and in the rainforest. Being strongly influenced by the symbolism and spirituality of the Aborigines, he started his quest for spiritual harmony in a civilization that is still anchored to a primitive lifestyle and culture, intact and not contaminated by progress and industrialization. Subsequently, he visited the American Indian Pueblos in New Mexico where he met with the elderly, getting inspiration from their sacred symbols. What he perceived from these cultures is the importance of getting over the contemporary anxiety caused by humankind’s alienation from nature and the instinctive capacity to return to it.

​

The natural and cosmic order of Pietrantonio’s work is expressed through materials such as wood, stone, powders, sand, and pigments balanced with metals, gauzes, textiles, and even flower petals. An inexhaustible source of inspiration is drawn from these objects carefully selected in unspoiled environments and attentively combined together on plastered canvases in a harmony of forms, colors, and sensations. The use of such materials as wood, paper, iron, textiles, and plaster, create what Pietrantonio defines as “totems” multi-formed objects, sculptured paintings that depict cosmic balance and harmony and transmit peacefulness. This is what he actually manages to express according to several collectors and experts who have seen his work in the past twenty years. Meeting him at his shows and during the preparation of such events in one of his ateliers, people are in direct contact with the artist, and when they watch him at work in his own environment they share his creative estro of the moment.

​

Fabio Pietrantonio, with his solar, cheerful, friendly, and dynamic personality, is not the stereotype of the reserved and tormented artist who expresses his anxiety, tension, and existential conflicts in his work. After the series of terrorist attacks happened to the world, from 2004 Fabio starts to be inspired by animals: bulls for Madrid bears for New York, Fish as prosperity symbols, as totems that symbolize protection for people, and transmit messages of peace and faith. All of his work has a spiritual background, a search for balance and peace for the world.

​

Some of his most successful public temporary art projects, like “Stop Breathe Respect“ in Milano which displayed 7 huge hearth sculptures covered by red rose petals, hung under the most famous arches and monuments, and “Acupuncture for the Planet” featuring series of huge wood sticks in an urban context, show his talent of communicating his message to the public. Although exhibiting all over the world, Fabio has chosen to live in peaceful environments amid uncontaminated nature - in the Italian Alps on the French border and in Sardinia, his favorite habitat, where he has been working in continuous evolution, incessantly producing sculptures, paintings, and a combination of the two.

Meeting him at his shows and during the preparation of such events in one of his ateliers, people are in direct contact with the artist, and when they watch him at work in his own environment they share his creative estro of the moment.

​

Fabio Pietrantonio, with his solar, cheerful, friendly, and dynamic personality, is not the stereotype of the reserved and tormented artist who expresses his anxiety, tension, and existential conflicts in his work. After the series of terrorist attacks happened to the world, from 2004 Fabio starts to be inspired by animals: bulls for Madrid bears for New York, Fish as prosperity symbols, as totems that symbolize protection for people, and transmit messages of peace and faith. All of his work has a spiritual background, a search for balance and peace for the world.

​

Some of his most successful public temporary art projects, like “Stop Breathe Respect“ in Milano which displayed 7 huge hearth sculptures covered by red rose petals, hung under the most famous arches and monuments, and “Acupuncture for the Planet” featuring series of huge wood sticks in an urban context, show his talent of communicating his message to the public. Although exhibiting all over the world, Fabio has chosen to live in peaceful environments amid uncontaminated nature - in the Italian Alps on the French border and in Sardinia, his favorite habitat, where he has been working in continuous evolution, incessantly producing sculptures, paintings, and a combination of the two.
