His is <strong>a spontaneous and ardent art,<\/strong> joyful but also profound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell us about your artistic training.<\/strong><br>I have an innate talent for <strong>drawing,<\/strong> which came out at a very young age. It often happened that, in primary school, the teachers thought my drawings were actually done by an adult. However, I had no real education because my parents preferred other paths for me. I attended accountancy instead of art school, but to compensate and nurture my creative side I studied trumpet at the conservatory. I am also a musician, therefore, and I still play. With covid I started <strong>painting<\/strong> again more assiduously, changing style radically. Before, mine was a realistic drawing and my subjects were women&#8217;s bodies or faces. At some point I started to feel that the rules of portraiture and realism in general were too restrictive. So I went back to my roots, to what I loved doing as a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your bizarre creatures\u2026<\/strong><br>Already as a child I used to combine <strong>human and animal bodies<\/strong> to create anthropomorphic figures, and I have been doing something similar again. As a friend of mine says, they are<strong> the imaginary friends<\/strong> from childhood that used to live under the bed, and now I have brought them out. I call them &#8216;little drawings&#8217; or &#8216;little monsters&#8217;, and on the surface they just look like funny creatures. In reality there is something deeper behind them: they are the invisible spectators of my life, silently and amusedly observing what I do and what happens to me. I have just gone through a very difficult experience in my family, an experience that made me feel a lot of fear and led me to reflect on what is really important in life. There is also this in my works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What techniques do you use?<\/strong><br>Different techniques, I like to change and I have a good manual dexterity, so I can do many things, whether it&#8217;s cooking or sculpting wood or crocheting. At first it was just <strong>watercolours<\/strong>, then I switched to <strong>a mixed technique.<\/strong> I use very thick sheets of watercolour paper, on which I prepare a base by mixing watercolours, inks, markers, pens, pencils. I usually start from an idea, <strong>a concept<\/strong> (for example, the feeling of never having enough time, which is something we all experience), at which point figures come to mind and I let themselves be guided by their shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you had to associate your art with a musical genre, what would it be?<\/strong><br>I play in a street band, and I think it reflects my art perfectly. Inside there is a bit of abstractionism, a bit of cubism, there is the style of murals\u2026 Something<strong> vital and communicative.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you think of Cinquerosso Arte?<\/strong><br>I joined immediately with great enthusiasm because I think <strong>it has a lot of potential.<\/strong> I really enjoyed meeting the other artists, also because it&#8217;s something that doesn&#8217;t happen very often. As a musician there are many more opportunities to meet and exchange ideas, whereas the art world is a bit more closed and there are fewer opportunities for contact. In Cinquerosso Arte, I have seen a close-knit and well-set group, and I really hope that this project will bring good things to everyone. They are special people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cinquerossoarte.com\/en\/artista\/giulio-brandelli\/\">Discover the works of Giulio Brandelli!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A musician and all-round creative artist, Giulio recalls the imaginary friends of his childhood in his works to have them always at his side.
