Works
Biography
The Roman artist known today as Dicò was born in 1964. Following his fascination for the world of contemporary art and the Italian-American cinema, Dicò chose to fulfill his studies at the Art Institute of Via di Ripetta in Rome; he gained experience in the studios of different artists.
He lives between Italy and USA and thanks to his curious and polyhedric character, is able to catch and interpret topics and elements belonging to different artistic languages.
Dicò is mainly inspired by Alberto Burri’s combustions and Warhol’s pop style. The artist, famous today for his original style characterized by the combination of plastic and paint, conveys meaningful implicit messages through his paintings. Dicò’s representations of his innovative dimension are obtained through the composition of different mixed elements and materials.
In 2012, Dicò began an important collaboration with the Ca’ d’oro of Rome and after his great success in Miami, he also collaborated in the presentation of the Marilyn’s Diamond. The artwork was presented during the exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Marilyn’s death. Several events and exhibitions have followed in very prestigious locations, like the Museum of Contemporary Art of Macro Testaccio, the Auditorium of Conciliation, at Ca’ d’oro of Piazza di Spagna, at Galleria Bosi.
In 2015 Dicò was invited by Italian embassy in Montecarlo for the event Il Mese della Cultura: in this occasion, the artist has presented his works dedicated to Luciano Pavarotti and Gianni Agnelli, later placed in the Barclays Bank of Monaco.
