Felice Battiloro
Born in Saronno in 1984, he is a contemporary artist based in Monza, Italy.
Recognized throughout Europe for his iconic faces, his artistic practice ranges from painting to installation and live performance, exploring existential themes through minimalist forms and raw materials. His work creates spaces of resonance that invite reflection on concepts such as presence, absence, and identity. In a hyperconnected society saturated with images, Battiloro explores the role of the vulnerable subject, transforming painting into an act of silent defiance and symbolic openness.
Refusing to be confined to a single artistic movement, Felice Battiloro exercises total creative freedom. His work ranges effortlessly from figurative to abstract art, from installations to performances. This versatility reflects his relentless exploration—a continuous dialogue with materials and meaning.
At the heart of his artistic vision are emblematic figures—particularly female ones—who become icons of creative force and the power of nature. The faces, often with absent or deliberately concealed eyes, challenge the viewer to look beyond appearances and grasp the intimate mystery of emotions. Works such as“Fire and Poetry”embody the artist’s fiery passion, while“Me and Us”expresses her reflection on inner balance and openness toward others.
Battiloro’s artistic journey culminates in a collective celebration. Her vision is tangibly manifested in her extensive exhibition history and collaborative projects, which transform art into a bridge to the community. Her work invites us to reflect and rediscover the wonder of life, offering a journey that enriches and transforms.
“His painting is a poetic act of resistance against indifference.”
Alberto Moioli, art critic
