Michele Righetti


"Imagine the darkness of one's mind evolving into millions of colours, what interests me is the fine line between what is real and what is unreal."

A painter, sculptor and printmaker, Michele Righetti initially studied textile and industrial design to subsequentially pursue the passion for fine art studying further under the private guidance of Ex-Checkoslovakian Maestro Stano Dušik in Florence, Italy.

It was during this time that the artist learnt various painting, engraving and sculpturing techniques, following an intense learning process based on workshops and practical work experience.

Michele's interests range from classic and contemporary oil landscapes, portraits and still life to mixed media and acrylic abstract art. His sculptures are made experimenting with natural stones, metals such as copper and bronze, synthetic fibers and wood.

Michele works through sketches and photos taken by himself or through re-collections of scenes, settings, faces or moments vividly captured in his mind through observant eyes.

Regardless of the subject of his paintings, whether this involves the interpretation of the human body, an harmonious landscape or some other aspect of life, Michele derives expressed joy in communion with God's creation in his work.
