Roberto Fondelli - contemporary painter

Born in the wooded hills of Montalcino in 1956, I drew the desire to paint from the surrounding nature, its colors and shapes. I have kept within me this expressive desire, in long decades dedicated to something else and with little time to "put color on white". I must say that during high school I had an excellent teacher of "Drawing and History of Art": Maestro Gianfaldoni of Volterra.  In 2014, after small pictorial parenthesis over a period of forty years, I decided to dedicate myself continuously: in 4 months I created 45 pictorial works and in March 2015 I realized my first exhibition in Poggibonsi: "Round trip, a journey through Time and Space". In the same year I created a personal exhibition inside the walls of Monteriggioni.  In 2017 I held a second exhibition in Poggibonsi, together with the Master painter and sculptor Reza OLIA: "Looking for PEACE". Between 2016 and 2021 I participate in various group exhibitions. In 2021 I received the fifth prize at the exhibition "Sergio Manzi International Painting Award", with the presence of the French artist Alain Bonnefoit.
