Angelo

Angelo Vullo was born in Favara (Agrigento, Sicily) on 29th of October 1945. When he was a boy, his family moved to Agrigento, where he lived until the April of 1971; after an year of professional school in Milan he moved to Germany, Sollingen (Ka) where he still lives. Since his childhood, he loved to draw. He's been influenced by some Holy Art works of the boarding school where he studied, but above all, from the painter that, in middle '50, frescoed the walls of the church Matrice of Favara. The walls that were once cold and white, became warm and full of dazzling colours thanks to that frescoes. He has started studying painting in 1985 at the age of 40, as self-taught man. He made a course of freehand drawing and picture in Darmstad where he took a certificate but, being a self-taught man, he learnt watching the great masterpieces of art, visiting Museums and from Nature. For a better learning, following the advice of great Teachers, he has copied some Rembrandt's works as "Jeremy", "Saint Paul in jail" and others, F.Lemoyne's "Venus et Adonis", Canaletto's "Venice Canal Grande", W.van der Velde "Amsterdam Port" and many others. Today his picture is more free, a “new impressionism macchiaiolo”, as the author calls it "Sonnenhof bei Sölligen", Wilde Blumen,Vier Sonnenblumen,Sicilia, etc.. ************************************************************ ** my painting on video>> ..
