Etnarref

Etnarref, originally from Sicily, has the innocence of children and that spontaneity that they unfortunately lose from adolescence.

Etnarref draws its inspiration from the sources of art going so far as to imitate the gesture of the cave man who, before using an elaborate language, drew and painted on walls to assert his identity.

Etnarref expresses himself with his heart and this human warmth specific to the people of the South. Above all expressionist, he releases pure and simple dreams on canvas or paper, recreating a secular Comedia dell'arte where the jester seems to be king, where the mask expresses feelings without detours.

Etnarref is no longer unknown to contemporary art lovers and his style, which is reminiscent of that of his compatriot Massimo Campigli, appeals to a growing number of collectors for whom the understanding of his art is by no means cryptic. .

Etnarref is a bit of everyone's friend, a sensitive artist who does not try to cut corners and lives to the rhythm of the days, translating reality, perceived through a childish soul with cheerful colors and a joyful line as weapons. .

Etnarref the enchanter takes us into an endless tale punctuated by the laughter of children and the murmur of the fairies which make his painting magical. As Baudelaire said, a man who possesses the genius of childhood possesses the genius by which no aspect of life is blunted.

Etnarref's work is a bit like a ray of light in our lives so often filled with endless anguish.
