Presentation
Born in Turin, Italy in 1963, Alex Bertaina's creative expression began in
early childhood where his passion for drawing and bold colours
originated. Though Alex considers art to be his primary tool for
communicating with the world, it wasn't until an injury in his mid-20's left
him homebound, that he began to focus on his dream of becoming an
artist.
As a self-taught painter, Alex never attended art school. However, in
1988 he was mentored under the guidance of Master, Marco
lattes. From here he began to refine his technical skills and
knowledge. Bertaina has since gone on to exhibit across Europe and
beyond. In 2014 his work saw him awarded the prestigious title of
Taipei's 'Master of the Year' and in 2016, Ukrainian composer Nik
Savinich dedicated a session of his piano recordings to Alex, simply titled
'Bertaina'.
Currently living and working in Cuneo, Northwest Italy, Alex
says “Painting is for me this dreamed landscape [consisting of] vertical or
horizontal cuts… superimposing interplays, dismantled and dense images that
look like rainbow geometries full of light and colour, [reflecting] its vibrancy
and brilliance".
