Capturing urban life through Sampled Realism—where reality meets abstraction, and absence tells its own story.
Biography
Marco Barberio, 1971 Italy. During his life, he has always cultivated a passion for art and creativity, even without attending specialized schools. He spent his adolescence in the 80s, painting with the myth of American graffiti and pop art. In the 90s he was in the middle of the digital revolution and the birth of the Internet. Thanks to entrepreneurial intuition, the predisposition to new technologies and love for art, he founded a web company with the role of art director. In his US travels, he definitively consolidates the metropolitan subjects for his realistic paintings with references to pop icons. The artist describes the practice, called “sampled realism", as bringing him the greatest satisfaction by being able to balance realism against a more conceptual simplification of traits. His work completely reflects the dualism of these two forces.
