“I grew up in an artistic environment, immersing myself in the works of various painters, sculptors, and other artists. After art school and fine arts school, I turned to interior design. For the past few years, returning to painting has been a natural progression. The adventure began in Miami and continues today in the South of France, the cradle of my childhood.” Ed Arto
Utilizing the extraordinary richness of cinema, Ed Arto likes to invite viewers to question the relationship between the painting and current events, past or present. His work explores the aesthetic and societal perspectives of our time through portraits of actors and actresses who have left their mark on our era. Matter and movement also profoundly inform his pictorial approach. As if past and present events were transformed into lines, into brushstrokes, as if the visible and the invisible were merging, his paintings are an aesthetic transposition of the resonances of our time.
