My name is Dario Moschetta and I am an artist from Castelfranco Veneto, a small town near Venice, Italy. My job is to make paintings in acrylic, I’ve been experimenting with various techniques developed by me. One of them involves applying several layers of paper and tearing them in a controlled manner, so as to obtain an irregular surface, like in posters of movies that you can see in the street. Those are the big city skyline in general. I also do portraits and nudes in large sizes. I use canvas roll so I feel free to work – I need a big white surface, and when the work is finished I choose the right size. I like acrylics because it gives me execution speed, and can be corrected at any time. As well as brushes of medium size, I also use spatulas, knives, sandpaper, rags, spray water, and step on the surface. Everything is instinctive, without a precise logic, when something goes well, I do not touch it anymore. The finished works are rough, irregular, uneven to the touch.
