NICOLA ROTIROTI
www.rotiroti.it
Born in 1973 in Catanzaro, he lives and works in Rome.
He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Catanzaro, directed by Tony Ferro, attending Luigi Magli’s school of Painting and Salvatore Brancato’s courses in Graphics.
In 2006 he founded “Studio 54,” a laboratory of artistic experiences. In 2014, with other artists, Paolo Assenza, Arianna Bonamore and Germano Serafini, he opened “Spazio Y” in Rome, an independent exhibition center for contemporary art in the Roman suburbs, where artistic work is experimented as an intervention in the territory.
Since 2004, his painting has focused on production drawn from photographic images taken underwater depicting subjects related to the artist’s personal life, from friends to family members.
Through this visual experience, the artist wants to capture the essence of the amniotic image, offering the form of the instant subtracted from becoming and sublimated, as in an ecstatic rapture of the gaze.
