Antonio Nunziante

Between Metaphysical and

Surrealism

Antonio Nunziante, one of the most important Italian
artists, last month exhibited in Art Santa Fe, winning
three prizes: The Best Artist, The Best Artwork, The
Best International Exhibitor. Nunziante reached his
fame in the US in 2013 thanks to three exhibitions in
New York City and Sotheby’s auction records in New
York, thus becoming one of the most sought-after
Italian artists. Many other important international ex-
hibitions followed in Great Britain, France, Belgium,
Germany, Turkey, and Dubai. Currently, 28 of his
paintings therefore, along with works by Michelangelo
and Raphael, are touring Europe in the art show en-
titled “Expo Leonardo Da Vinci.” It is a privilege to
have Antonio Nunziante, since he has exhibited also
along with de Chirico, Picasso, Dalì and Warhol.

Maestro Nunziante has been known in the US since a
very young age. The public has immediately realized
that it was facing a completely different style from the
ones it was familiar with: Nunziante’s artworks convey
feelings that strike and amaze the mind of the observ-
er. His artworks are mainly metaphysical because they
are the result of a deep study of this artistic current
that had as its pioneer the Italian painter Giorgio de
Chirico. Nunziante’s artworks drive us, in a sponta-
neous way, to discover meanings that go far beyond
what the artist has painted. Looking at his works,
which are technically perfect and at first sight easy to
read, we find out that Nunziante creates, above all,
emotions: the subjects of his paintings evoke in us mem-
ories or feelings that
push us to investigate
more deeply the rea-
sons that attract us
towards his creations.
Many of Nunziante’s
artworks are also sur-
realistic because they
directly question our
unconscious and inter-
pret our dreams, over-
coming any barriers.
