Angelo Di Tommaso was born in Formia in 1953. He attended theCimento Academy in the eighties and then the Roman school with the teacher Carlo Marcantonio. Since 2006 it has been present in the bio-iconographic archive of the Modern art gallery of Rome and is included in Catalog of Modern Art published by Mondadori, classified AC: High Critical Interest.
It is part of Arcani Movement with whom he exhibits in Italy and the United States. In November 2012 his works, dedicated to human rights and inspired by Martin Luther King, were exhibited at the UN gallery. One of his works is on permanent display since Giuseppe Sciortino Museum of Monreale (Palermo). Another is on permanent display at the National Museum in Lviv, in Ukraine.
His painting is sensual and grainy, and sets the scene archaic landscapes with elegant figures with deep gaze. It is linked to the tradition of Great Masters, which is why his works are often homages to artists of the past: Picasso, Magritte, De Chirico, Gauguin, Canova.
His technique is absolutely original. He paints with acrylics and oil pastels applied to plywood, polypropylene or canvas bases. He applies various types of material interventions to them. Each work requires multiple stages of creation. He died in December 2016.
