Exhibition at Banca Raiffeisen Mendrisio and Valle di Muggio, in the Mendrisio and Castel San Pietro offices.
Ticino artist Marco Lupi, born in Balerna in 1958, presents his new exhibition, a milestone in a coherent and profound journey spanning over forty years of pictorial research.
After studying at the CSIA in Lugano, Marco developed an independent practice, enriched by travel, museum visits, human encounters, and artistic exchanges. Each of his works stems from an instinctive gesture, an impulse that transforms into a story. His mixed media generates dense, layered surfaces, where instinct and emotion are at the root of every creation. Paint, paper, fabrics, and sand blend together like fragments of memory: emotions that take shape, memories that resurface without seeking explanation.
Lupi paints to recognize himself, to play earnestly with what dwells within him. Each painting is a visual confession, an invitation to trust intuition rather than thought, to "not understand" but to feel. His figures are witnesses to life. His is a gentle yet profound journey into the poetry of instinct, a pictorial language constructed with recurring symbols and harmonious structures.
The exhibition offers an opportunity to explore this artist and his sincere and visceral painting, capable of transforming personal intimacy into universal emotion: a meeting of sensitivity, memory, and creative gesture.
