Three Oil Paintings by Paolo Terdich

“The water works represent my last project, an extreme challenge which combines the message I tried to transmit in my portraits and figures and the technical complications to render the movement, the transparencies and the light reflections of water and the fragmentation effects of bodies under water. These works are unusual and modern paintings, of the complex realization, with the subjects that crush the crystal of the water in decomposed glares that they decompose the bodies underwater”. – Paolo Terdich

Born in Piacenza (Italy), Paolo Terdich has travelled widely and has lived in various countries, including U.K., Netherlands, Egypt, and Nigeria. He has had the opportunity to experience diverse cultures and, hence, to develop and refine his art. He has presented his work at various personal exhibitions worldwide and at some renowned art fairs. The solo exhibitions in Abuja (Nigeria – 2010) at the Italian Embassy and at the “Istituto Italiano di Cultura” in Cairo (Egypt – 2000) are two example of events organized by the Italian Institutions, to show his works worldwide. He has also won numerous international prizes (e.g. he was among the winners of the ”VII Biennale Internazionale di Roma” and finalists in the prestigious “Premio Arte 2008”).
