Rodolfo Meli Biography
Rodolfo Meli (1948 - ) was born on the threshold of the fifties in Rignano sull'Arno, in the heart of Tuscany which will be a recurring motif, from the most remote history, to the calm and remote landscapes, to the artists who have made it eternal, of his copious production of a cultured artist, and therefore simple and shy. After graduating from the Art Institute of Florence, the dense sequence of experiences, personal and collective exhibitions began, which led him from the Tuscan capital to Amsterdam, and in the 1980s, New York. An artist who has always been linked to the representation of the human figure, with a fervent imagination he creates fables that find their origins in distant eras of his land (now in the mysteries of the Etruscan civilization, now in an ideal Renaissance dreamed through the example of Angelico and Piero of Francesca, as of Brunelleschi's rigor) and populates fantastic characters to whom family and friends affectionately lend their faces, decorated in the privacy of the studio with veils, masks and crowns, or headdresses of golden cardboard and false flowers, gradually invented with unbridled imagination.
