Collection: NICOLA VILLA

Nicola Villa (1976, Lecco, Italy) lives and works in Genoa. His artistic research is focused on depicting the human condition. The life of Villaʼs characters belongs to a story without plot, where figures chase one another beyond their physical presence into an imaginative athmosphere of elusive, subtle anxiety that surrounds all of us.

He started to play with this series of sketches and collages during the lockdown and he is still working on them studying different solutions and compositions for a new series of large scale works still in progress. He has always been fascinated by old newspaper and magazines and he is also a fanatic collector of them, loving the “flavor” of that kind of imagery and the suggestions whom they recreate in his mind confronted with our everyday life.
