My name is Ugo Mainetti. I am an autodidact painter, I’m from Valtellina and I am the father of four children, two daughters and two sons. I came into the world without whimpering on May 5th, 1945 in a little district called Valle in the commune of Tartano. I was born into a peasant family of sound principles. I was the second-born son of four children. My bent for painting has revealed itself ever since I was a child. During the time I had been helping my parents in the field and upon casting a glance at my first primary school textbook, I realized that a whirling sense of dreams, emotions, and fantasies was originating in me. I expressed it through painting on and with any available material. My first painting Burnt Mountains dates back to 1957.

For me, the art is a purpose of life, an adventure, a challenge. I express my emotions through my paintings. The colors are my words. My brush stroke is instinctive and fluid. It is not meditated and rational. I love the history of art and so when I paint is natural for myself inspire me to the great masters of the past. I often take inspiration also by Greek mythology legends but I give them my own modern reinterpretation so I try to convey on my canvas classic elements with those of contemporary world in a surreal atmosphere.

I’m an Italian Artist, from Rome. When I was a child I drew for hours, a real moment of pure happiness. I have painted 25 years.
My works in oil and acrylic on canvas are born from my inner state. When I paint, I like to tell stories. Really the paintings narrate only part and let everyone imagine the moments before and after the moment represented.

I create works with a strong visual impact, sometimes seductive, sometimes bizarre and ironic.
I think that a woman who portrays female figures certainly has a privileged point of view.
I love life and I feel that I was born only to be an Artist!
