Carlo Petrini

I started painting at the age of 19 as a self-taught person, this need arose when I was working in a factory.
I used painting as a curative medicine, it gave me the ability to free myself from that sense of oppression that heavy and repetitive work transmitted. In fact in the beginning I painted exclusively for myself, I didn't do it to show it to others, I didn't consider it important, it was like that for several years.
  

Then, after this very introspective phase, I started advertising my works, and I met professionals who helped me in this.
My tendency was to paint scrap, electrical cables, mechanical parts and things like that, all of these things they were decontextualized to form surreal images that I thought were interesting.
  

Over time the electric cables took over, they strongly attracted me, there was the idea of creating shapes to my liking or according to my mood, I still believe today that painting electric cables gives me a certain feeling of well-being, for some years I have included other subjects in this world of threads, such as clowns, balls and various animals.
