Federico Carminati Eeek! An artist!

Federico Carminati · Eeek! An artist! — Painter

Federico Carminati composes figurative images like the pieces of a rebus to be solved: the doubts of existence, painted in mixed media and unusual materials — toothpaste, papier-mâché, LED lights, epoxy resin. The key, often, lies in the eye of the observer.

About

Portrait of Federico Carminati

Federico Carminati is an Italian artist. His paintings try to give shape to the doubts that assail him about existence: the images come together on the canvas like the parts of a rebus to be solved — a rebus at times difficult to compose even for the artist himself.

He loves to experiment and prefers figurative art. In his paintings he uses mixed techniques and unusual materials such as toothpaste, recycled materials, papier-mâché, LED lights and epoxy resin.

Artist statement

I paint doubts, not answers. Often it is the eye of the observer that hands me the key to the rebus: the interpretation of what I myself have composed on the canvas.
