Emanuele Garletti is a figurative painter who works on large and medium scale canvases in oil and acrylic, mainly in black and white. His paintings are portraits of men and women, and reflect his personal way of interpreting society. He often bases his portraits on photographs shot by himself. His paintings are the frame of a really lived moment, that he strongly wishes to propose again, combining the emotion experienced with the lively trepidation of representing it under new expressions for himself and for those who will be watching it.. Garletti started exhibiting in 2009 in his home town, Brescia at the Palazzo Bertazzoli. Since then he has won several awards. Most recently, he has exhibited at the Artrooms Fairs in Seoul and in Rome; at the ArtExpo in New York.

"I was approaching painting at school, when I was getting familiar with axonometric projection and the representation of solid figures. I have always been attracted by the geometric lines intersecting each other, giving birth to always new and different volumes, so unexpected and surprising. This has always led me to experiment with fusion, until reaching the representation of real faces and bodies.
My unpredictable and energetic brush-stroke does not know an end, everything constantly changes, according to the emotions I am experiencing and leading me to give breathe to reality that I do not represent in its canonical purity as the painting is for me a sort of parallel universe, where my instincts meet.
My paintings are the frame of a really lived moment, that I strongly wish to propose again, combining the emotion experienced with the lively trepidation of representing it under new expressions for myself and for those who will be watching it".
