La dama di Shallot, Andrea Starinieri - T.O.E. Art Market

Andrea Starinieri uses classical subjects to express his signature style, which features deep brushstrokes and a study of color and light. In this reinterpretation of Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse's "The Lady of Shalott," Starinieri reinforces his original poetics, establishing a new horizon for contemporary pictorial expressionism. The reference to Don Quixote of La Mancha is interesting, certainly recalling Cervantes's masterpiece but, through a more subtle shift, the work of a great 20th-century Italian artist, Tano Festa.

Born in Pescara in 1977, he graduated from the local art high school. His teachers included Alfredo Del Greco, Sandro Visca, and Angelo Colangelo. He then moved to Florence, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, specifically Professor Gustavo Giulietti's painting school. After a period in Spain, he returned to Abruzzo, living between Madrid and Granada. He currently works as a street artist and has participated in several street art festivals in the United States, particularly in Baltimore and Venice, Florida. Since 2018, he has resumed exhibiting his works in private art galleries.
