Carlo Roselli (1939 - ) was born in Milan in 1939. He currently lives and works in Rome. While still a teenager he moved with his family to Rome, where he undertook classical studies and began to take an interest in painting. After graduating from high school he enrolled with little enthusiasm first in Law and then in Political Science, and began to develop a passion for theater so much so that with a group of friends he formed a small company with which he performed Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Ionesco and others. In the early 1960s he definitively abandoned his studies and left for Paris to deepen his knowledge of both painting and theatre. He forms friendships and working relationships with artists and other people from the world of art and entertainment. The Parisian environment influenced him above all in his painting, with a continuous reference to the atmospheres of the smoky cafés of the early twentieth century which became one of the main themes of his artistic imagination. After three years in Paris he went to London for a year and, after several trips around the world, towards the end of the 1960s, he settled permanently in Rome. Here he began to paint with greater commitment and alternated periods of intense philosophical and scientific studies with painting, without neglecting his passion for theatre. In the early seventies he attended courses at the Free School of Nude and Decoration at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. In 1973 he held his first solo exhibition in a gallery in Via Margutta and since then he has exhibited with growing public and critical success in European and American galleries and public spaces. Carlo Roselli lives and works in Rome.
