ALBERTO BALLOCCA
Cluster Exhibitor | Cluster Contemporary | 2022
Alberto Ballocca is a contemporary Italy based artist whose background is linked to sensitive factors. His breakthrough into the artistic sphere was initially influenced by deep emotions and urgency. Alberto does not remember a particular episode that led him to artistic creation, but that he "simply" went with his gut. He says he let himself go when composing elements, always playing and mixing different mediums on different supports or sculpting a specific element or subject. This resulted in a game of creative self-construction which leads to a strong and balanced representation within his unique ancient/modern style.
His art is a combination of ancient symbolic elements blended with a self-developed semi-futuristic styleline, with the objective of uncovering profound resonances inside people's perceptions.
He started creating art when he was 19 years old by merely letting his flow runs through things he is working on, Alberto learns ancient philosophy, various parts of old cultures, and emulates his studies inside a pictorial or sculptural piece of art.
