Biography

ARTIST STATEMENT

-Painter, Illustrator, Editorial graphic-

The research of my work is centred around the exploration of subtle and remote worlds, to be evoked within oneself and in the places of the soul.

What we are is determined by the totality of our inner experiences, the experience we share with others, the processing of our thoughts, feelings and dreams, like so many pieces of a mosaic that is being updated every moment within us.

My goal is to take people by the hand and lead them into secret, timeless places, passing through remote sensations, evocative images and forgotten emotions. This is an invitation to contemplation and imagination, which, beyond my specific personal quest, allows each viewer to find their own stories in each room, face and time.

That is why in my paintings nothing is represented as it is in reality, whether people or things. On the contrary, everything is metaphysical matter and dreamed dimension. The interior merges with the exterior, the conscious with the unconscious, the real with the symbolic, in dimensions where time and geographical distances do not exist.

To achieve this, both in oil painting and pencil illustrations, I use transparencies, which allow me to make feelings, thoughts and memories real that would otherwise not be visible.

BIOGRAPHY

-Painter, Illustrator, Editorial graphic-

Davide Querin is best known as the painter of transparencies.
In his works, the observer has the opportunity to enter parallel dimensions, explore remote worlds, finding their own stories in every room, face and time.

Graduated in visual arts from the ISIA of Urbino and perfected in Renaissance painting in the Studio of the painter Luigi Quintili, he specialized in the use of glazes, which allowed him to give a personal twist to his surrealist influence.

He discovered and studied the works of numerous Argentine artists such as Thibon de Libian, Quinquela Martin, Carlos Alonso, Castagnino and Xul Solar, whose works fascinated him.

He has received numerous awards and recognitions and has made his works available on the set of various TV films, including "Primo cittadino" with Tullio Solenghi and "L'una e l'altra" with Christopher Lambert.

His paintings are purchased by collectors in Italy, France, United States, Finland, Germany, Israel, Great Britain, Brazil, Argentina, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland.

Upon request, he makes themed paintings, on commission.
