Emanuele Tozzoli, an Italian mixed-media artist combines elements of abstraction, cubism, and impressionism to create ethereal and viscerally captivating works. Infused with vibrant colors and emotive presence, Tozzoli approaches his creative process as one might compose a piece of music, his eyes attuned as acutely as a pianist’s ear. With a foundation in both music and visual arts, his artistic path was nurtured from an early age, shaping him into a deeply reflective artist who seamlessly traverses the realms of art, music, and emotion.
Employing tactile methods with acrylics, spray paint, and oil pastels, Tozzoli brings to life strikingly impressionistic scenes, where portraiture meets symbolism and cubism blends with bold color. His versatility extends to mural glazes and collage, allowing him to explore diverse techniques with confidence and creative freedom. Describing his artistic journey as instinctual and organic, Tozzoli notes, “My method is instinctive and visceral. Often, I realize the piece is complete only when it’s finished.” Surrendering rational thought, he connects with his primal eye, immersing himself fully in the flow. His hope is for his work to “inspire and evoke a sense of freedom” in viewers.
Tozzoli’s vibrant, conceptual works are often whimsically fragmented and faded, offering viewers boundless freedom for perception and interpretation. His non-prescriptive style invites individual reflection, with each piece acting as an “indispensable tool of awareness and understanding.” Through his art, Tozzoli channels unfiltered emotions, tapping into an ancient, almost sacred flow, bringing forth visual expressions that feel spiritual and otherworldly. His practice becomes a visual testament to a mind wholly devoted to passion, unity, and a rare sense of liberation.
Driven by a fascination with archetypes and hidden aspects of human nature, Tozzoli’s work dives into subconscious realms, revealing dreamlike and eccentric inner worlds. His compositions resonate with recurring symbols, making each piece a materialization of his unconscious—a blend of visions and childhood dreams, rooted in a primitive flow of creativity.
