Artist highlights

Born in Peschiera del Garda on 29 January 1951, Athos Faccincani began his career in the 1970s. After early works noted for expressive intensity, his practice shifted in the 1980s toward nature as a central theme, developing a distinctive language of color and material. He has exhibited internationally and received various national and international honors.
