Fabrizio Balzani Luminari -Deep yellow-

Fabrizio Balzani Luminari was born in 1963 in Senigallia, his history with painting began as a child, spending hours colouring, while his parents watched television in the evening. He says that for a long time he always made the same subject, a ship stylized with felt-tip pens. Then over the years he says he received unconscious messages, impressionist impulses, sometimes he spent the day staring at artists painting, during his trips to England. He didn’t want to paint, he was considered family, one
waste of time, while serious professions were others, he remembers sporadic attempts to use colors and canvases during adolescence, with fear. In the 90s in London, visiting galleries in Chelsea, he was struck by some hyper-realist American artists. He spends some time in the USA, in California, but becomes seriously ill and is forced to return to Italy, where he is confined to the walls of his home and here he rediscovers colours. He studies with many masters, the Russians in Ancona, he meets critics and artists, portraits, then abstract art. He creates a personal technique, with soft pastels on canvas, he enrolls at the Academy of Fine Arts but without enthusiasm, instead he finds attention in the knowledge of an artist in Senigallia, Lynn Yaw Boling, who he frequents, he draws a lucid madness from it, he questions himself about life, God, hope.
