"Configuraciones" Solo show in Bogota Colombia 2017
Marcello Castellani, born in Cali, Colombia in 1989, and currently based in Berlin, Germany, is a painter who explores human duality. Since the beginning of his career in 2014, he has sought to capture the sensitivity evoked by human expressions, with portraiture being his most recurrent subject.
His desire to intertwine chaos and order within a single image translates into a constant duality present in his work that takes the viewer on a journey into the depths of human existence. As a master of light and darkness, Castellani metaphorically utilizes these elements to emphasize that light cannot exist without darkness and that both coexist with inner selves.
With the ability to work from traditional techniques such as painting and drawing to digital and experimental methods, Castellani harnesses both artistic legacy and contemporary possibilities to create unique and thought-provoking artworks. His talent has led him to exhibit in renowned art capitals such as New York, Berlin, Barcelona, Prague, and Brussels.
