Vincenzo La Greca

Born in Milan in April 71 'in La Greca Vincenzo already at an early age, he begins to glimpse relevance with the design, so much so that he is proposed by the middle school at the age of 12 years to draw a cartoon, and armed of colored pencils, he makes a short short film...

In 1990 he completed his studies as an advertising graphic designer at the Kandinsky in Milan, then continued his studies at the school of art of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, specializing in the field of illustration.

Completely self-taught training is essential, consisting of the use of more techniques and experiments, inspired by the urban context of the Milanese suburbs.

In 1992 he participated in several projects in collaboration with other artists, leaving his mark on the walls of his city, he also participates in a series of group exhibitions organized within the Milan Polytechnic with representations on the wall of the University Institute, still existing.

The interests continue above all after a trip in '98, to the city of Mexico, where admiring the works of Diego Rivera, understands that the various representations on the wall, of large dimensions, they have an important suggestive effect and therefore start with the study of decorations and fake landscapes on the wall, in most cases, in apartments and commercial premises.

Without neglecting the passion for the murals you breathe from another 'journey, this time in Morocco, where he begins to study his own style, introspective and begins to give life to an introspective painting that is gradually mature over the years, until today to its total fullness.

In his last collaboration, started in 2008 and still in progress with the artist architect Lucio Forte, he experiments the techniques of abstract painting, using recycled materials of all sorts, from the supports on which paint to paints and much more, giving life to an important and evocative experimentation in the field of materials.
