About Maximilian Damico

Basically I approach the painting with a separate palette warm and cold colour, the contrast lets have an interesting three-dimensional and plastic effect; I try every time to move the brush as fast as I can, to catch the movement,  that I am seeing in reality, on the paper...that lets the painting get the energy and the vibrations  that I am constantly looking for in my style; I can use a very wet paper and brush full of water sometimes I use very dry colour. I never use very tiny size brushes for small details...but I am interested in the big block of masses, their contrasts make the beauty in a painting. BIO: I was born in south Italy, and took courses of painting in Academy of Fine Arts in Naples; after the Fine Art 'Diploma', I left south Italy to have broader contact with the international Art scene, following  different routes: as Barcelona, London, Paris, New York and Prague: where I maturated my own style made by semi abstract elements and expressionist executions and techniques.  I spent 5 years in this kind of wandering life, always looking for areas of visibility, collaboration and contracts with Art Galleries. Meanwhile I was achieving and accomplishing a good number of success, has grown in me the germ of dissatisfaction: an awful virus in a mind of an Artist. For this reason I went back to my own village in Italy on Amalfi Coast, to dig in myself: where after a while, I applied for a Watercolor art contest. Never tried this technique, but immediately I fell in love with the medium: The Watercolor has twisted my interior world and changed the way how to look at the external world, a gorgeous feeling that gave me the final push to convey my energies in the fluid world of the Watercolor!
