Roberto Calò was born in Palermo in the 1985. He earned a degree from Academy of fine art of Carrara in the 2012.
The painter sees his work as a manifestation of energy, where light symbolizes the encounter between matter and spirit.
In the Latin language, the concept of light is divided between lumen, which refers to the light that illuminates the objects, and lux, which means the metaphysical light, the light of the soul. The use of a light in the painter’s work intends to express a connection between these two elements.
Roberto Calò lives and works in Palermo.
