Andrea Antonini

"Artist and author since I could no longer avoid the obsessive digging into my nature, I’m furiously stumbling on my so many confusions while dragging along the path to happiness - still mostly obscure. Disgusted by a world that, beyond good and evil, but always with the thickest dictionary of politically correct hypocrisies, continuously reinvents the same old tricks. At best, the pallid, distorted reflections of a deeper existence; mostly, the pleasing projections of crafted scams, to sell the multicolor tail that we keep chasing. And so, I lived across the world for over 25 years, mistaking trinkets for preciousness, appearance for essence, senselessly jumping before thinking. Until I couldn’t bear it anymore, and I started stripping the so many labels and conditionings that build the ego that now I wish to deny. My writings and paintings are two sides of a three-faced coin, allied in expressing the negated superiority of the truest, individual humanity against the third face. The one that eventually always shows to the eyes, no matter how we spin the coin. The one that has but a single word, indelibly engraved: MORE!" Andrea harnesses art to explore human nature, both from individual and social perspectives. His paintings are both introspective and inspired by the social distortions of modern life, that culturally and economically define what happiness means for us all. He holds a M.A. in Communication and Design and has been an Experience and Visual Designer for over 25 years. Originally from Italy, Andrea has lived in several great cities across the world, such as Paris (FR), London (UK), Sydney (AU), Budapest (HU), Prague (CZ). He currently resides in Dubai (UAE).
