BIOGRAPHY
Riccardo Nannini (Italy, 1980) lives and works between Barcelona and Siena. Trained in Industrial Design at the Polytechnic University of Milan, he began an independent artistic path in Barcelona in 2010. Painting soon became his main medium — a way to explore the absurdity of human behavior and the social conventions that shape everyday life.
His visual language combines references to Renaissance and Flemish traditions with pop and comic influences, merging irony, color, and social reflection. His work focuses on narrative composition and the expressive value of detail, alternating between large, choral scenes and small serial formats.
He has exhibited widely in Australia, Europe and Asia and participated in group shows and in the US. He collaborates with galleries such as Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea (Milan), Galería Víctor Lope (Barcelona), Ting Ting Art Space (Taipei), and Aile Gallery (Seoul), and has taken part in art fairs including VOLTA Basel, Urban Art Fair Paris, Estampa Madrid, ArtVerona and Art Taipei.
