The fantasy of colors
Site dedicated to Davide Nava's artistic works
Biography and criticism
I was born in Giussano in Brianza in 1971 and I studied technical subjects with a specialization in electronics during which I studied technical drawing and the rules of perspective in depth.
Art and philosophy have always fascinated me, I love music and for a period of my life I dedicated myself to the guitar. But graphic arts are my favorite form of communication.
I first devoted myself to photography, which gave me knowledge of the rules for good composition, before moving on to painting in 2001.
My passion for color led me to join the association “la Bottega dell'arte” in Missaglia in 2006, where I was able to study pencil and charcoal drawing techniques and develop oil and acrylic painting.
My first exhibition of oil paintings was in 2008, followed by many others, among which I had the honor of being able to include the Louvre Museum in Paris.
I also had the pleasure of creating the illustrations for the book “Riflessi” by the poet Carmen Besana published by Montedit.
The center of my painting are always the colors that I love alive and expressive. In my vaguely surreal settings I always love to insert a message that is food for thought, I believe in fact that art can be considered as such only if, in addition to conveying beauty and harmony, it also suggests a theme that the author proposes so that it can be developed by the observer.
Davide Nava and the shape of the non-shape
An intimate expressive synthesis links faces, landscapes, suggestions, colors and symbols.
Davide's painting is characterized by a harmonious graphic-poetic intertwining, the vivid and unreal gesture blends dream and reality, serenity and restlessness, desires and choices creating balances that are sometimes stable and sometimes precarious.
The artist, as it should be natural, expresses his personal relationship with life, emotions and thoughts ... .. reflections and feelings ... ..
The inspirational matrix springs from nature, captured in all its expressive power and simplicity and enriched with intense meanings in an attempt to give shape to the inexpressible.
The imaginative vision, at times, can be more eloquent than any word.
