BIOGRAPHY

Eugenio Galli was born in 1951 in Seregno in the province of Monza-Brianza. He still works there but now lives in Briosco. Ever since he was a teenager he has harboured a passion for painting.

When he finished studying science in Monza, he went to work in his family’s goldsmith’s store. He became an expert in gemmology and during this time he would also visit the studio of Gianni Arde. With him, Galli began an intense period of training and collaboration, through which he obtained his own personal interpretation of colour and scenery.

 After leaving his interest in figurative art behind, at the beginning of the 90s he pondered over the issue of light, establishing a creative space highlighted by a soft and delicate use of colour. And so his abstract cycles of work began. They involve substance and spirit, universal perceptions and chromatic iridescence, until we get to his more recent pictorial creations which flow into a special kind of philosophy entitled Elegy to White. His works are a unique gallery of make-believe worlds, infused with delicate and soft tones in search of spiritual universality.

 In keeping with this theme are his latest Steles, art works and sculptures made using all sorts of materials, especially Cor-Ten, some of which are also created on a large scale.

 Eugenio Galli has taken part in numerous personal and collective exhibitions around Italy and abroad. In 2009 he began taking on European scale projects presenting extremely unique exhibitions and attending prestigious events.

 His works can be found in both national and international, private and public collections.
