The Italian artist Giuseppe Scarangelli (born in 1997, Bari, Italy) was formed by a multidisciplinary background and a strong interest in psychological and relational dynamics. From an early age, he explored multiple artistic languages, studying piano, painting, sculpture, and photography, while developing a visual sensibility informed by both classical references and contemporary influences.
He has a degree in Clinical Psychology and has worked as a behavioral and cognitive therapist with autistic children. This experience deeply influenced his approach to perception, embodiment, and communication, encouraging an ongoing investigation into inner processes and non-verbal forms of connection. His international experiences and cross-cultural exchanges further contribute to the conceptual framework of his work.
His painting practice centers on notions of relationship, interdependence, and embodied presence. Through fluid gestures and layered, material surfaces, painting becomes a relational field in which bodies—real or implied—intertwine and affect one another. Rather than depicting the body, his work absorbs its rhythm and tension, situating itself in a suspended space between physicality and perception, where matter becomes a carrier of psychological and emotional resonance.
