“To be different from myself every single day: that is how I feel alive.”

The vision

“From the Sassi of Matera I learned the architecture of taking away. And in painting, to take away means to simplify: the mark, the colours, the gesture.”

The Sassi of Matera, carved into the tuff: the architecture of taking away, the root of his painting.

Art and place

“What I love above all is to stir consciences, to give emotion to those who look at my painting.”

Cesare Maremonti

The artist

Biography

Born in Matera in 1966, Cesare Maremonti graduated in architecture in Florence, specialising in industrial design and planning. After periods spent between Russia, Finland and Amsterdam, in 2002 he returned to Matera, where he founded Archdesignstudio, a workshop of ideas spanning design, architecture and painting. Today he lives and works in Pietrapertosa, in the Lucanian Dolomites.

His painting portrays the landscape as a “set of geometric forms, coloured marks, solids and voids”. Oil, collage and drawing intertwine into faces, eyes and essential figures: a continuous dialogue between being an architect and being a painter.

“It takes great modesty to call oneself an artist: it is a way of living, a way of understanding the world and absorbing it with the greatest sensitivity.”

Behind the scenes

In the studio

The daily gesture: colours, paper and marks waiting to become a work.

“Through colours you can express not only light, but also shapes, lines, points and surfaces.”
