Federico Sparisci

Biography

My name is Federico Sparisci and I was born in Rome, Italy in 1980. I spent a significant part of my life in the greater Boston area, but have lived and traveled extensively in Europe.

Since an early age I have been interested in art, and my formal experience drawing and painting developed during four years of high-school. At the time I experimented with several mediums and styles including charcoal sketching, pencil drawing, ink cross hatching and acrylic painting.

After finishing my studies, I have continued to paint, but focused my material largely on living and travel experiences in Europe. My particular interest is on the marvels of traditional architecture and the timeless appreciation for its viewers. I have tried to create a collage of these experiences through paintings, as a figurative bridge between viewers of my work and my admiration for these architectural designs.

I hope to pursue similar themes in the greater Boston area and become more involved in the local artist community.

Statement

The subject of my work tends to focus on the architectural design of human made structures, such as the facades of cathedrals, symbolic fountains, ports and bridges encountered in my life and travel in Europe. In my artwork I have attempted to project the emotion that these structures evoke, constructing a symbolic bridge between the viewer of my paintings and my appreciation for the original design.
