About me:
Agostini Stefano alias Paul De Haan
I was born in Rome ( Italy ) on May 27th 1966.
I’m a self-taught painter all time “obsessed” of the drawing and painting.
After a ten years period of moderate activity, in 2006 I resumed to work at good rhythm.
Actually I’m a member of Artistic and Cultural Club “Lorenzo Viani” in Rome.
I sign my works with the dutch alias “Paul De Haan”.
I taken part in many exhibition and competition in and out Italy, with good receptions.
My works was exposed in many Art Galleries of Rome, Milan, Genoa, Bergamo and Catania.
I’m very bound to figurative gender, but don’t exclude prior neither technique nor gender on condition that the result correspond as well as possible to the initial idea.
Painting for me is a most high form of communication and the picture have to transfer emotions and sensation to the observer: if looking, for example, at a painted apple, we could see only the apple and not the energy spent from artist, the painter could be a good workman but not an Artist.
In 2006 I resumed the activity, initially with masterpiece copy, for technical and stylistic exercise and for studying.
I don’t believe could be innovative regardless of past and don’t believe in a self-purpose estro or art.
In my way I wouldn’t reach modernity or contemporary, instead the Universality, meaning with this term “to be actual always” peculiarity of almost of greatest artists of past.
I see the artist like a kaleidoscope: a tube that is featureless in appearance, but if looked backlight gives a world of colours, patterns and emotions. There’s a close-loop where the reality enter by eyes and other sense in the artist and after a slow emotional and psychical digestion , this reality, come out from the hands and, magically comes back modified and understandable to the eyes.
