Lucio Salvatore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucio Salvatore (born May 3, 1975) is an Italian artist.

Salvatore creates most of his works by painting with fire in the bottom of a circular pool[1], the center of his studio[4]. His work is rooted in pre-Socratic philosophy especially in the teachings of Heraclitus and Anaximander, and his fragment: αρχή τών όντων τό άπειρον: "The Beginning of everything is the Infinite"[2]. Fire has been the center of Salvatore’s work as a subject in his early creations and as the fundamental element of his paintings[5] and large scale photographs [6][3].

Salvatore has exhibited in New York (Grant Gallery), Milan (Bally, Mobjects+Art), St Barthelemy (To B-Art Gallery)[4][5], Berlin and Rio De Janeiro. In March 2008, for the celebration of 200 years anniversary, Salvatore installed his paintings in the Botanical Garden[6][7], to express his commitment to the environmental cause and to denounce the destruction of the Amazon Forest[7].
