Riccardo Chirici

Riccardo Chirici was born in Livorno in 1959. He began painting in 1973 as a self-taught.

A lover of truth, he has always been attracted to painting en plain-air, managing to immortalize on the canvas all the moods and lights that can be perceived only by living in the open air. His still lifes are instead made in his studio.

Years later he began attending the Trossi Uberti, a Livorno art school, directed by the master Voltolino Fontani and then by Marc Sardelli. Here he comes into contact with the painter Walter Cecchi, from whom he will learn the engraving technique with the painter Walter Cecchi. In 1991 he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence with Prof. Gianfranco Notargiacomo. Present in many editions of the "Mario Borgiotti" Round Prize, he managed to win the 1st City of Livorno Prize.
