For the second year in a row, the painter from Braida Riccardo Testa was selected at the Pro Biennale in Venice. His talent was also rewarded in the 2024 edition with the addition of artistic merit. The Pro Biennale is, in fact, a collateral event at the Venice Biennale, which aims to give visibility and highlight new generations of artists.
A new opportunity that enhances the international stature of IOL (as Riccardo Testa is known in art), which was recently on display in Los Angeles, where it managed to hold its own against the biggest names in modern art.
«Works inspired by life which acquire, thanks to the skillful use of chiaroscuro and the softness of the lines, an intimate and sentimental intonation. The light is warm and enveloping, it illuminates the details, giving them vividness and expressiveness and creates an engaging emotional dimension”we read in the presentation of the artist’s works, signed by the president of the selection committee Except Nugneswho defined Riccardo Testa’s art as imbued with «A holistic perception where multiple senses turn to the enjoyment of the human landscape of feeling, where the intimate, in its depiction, rises to a moment of comfort and absolute beauty».
