BARLO

BARLO

Barlo is an Italian painter and designer based in Hong Kong. Drawing since childhood, he started painting on walls at the age of 15, and later extended his creative exploration by studying design in Milan and Nottingham. After a brief experience in London he moved to Hong Kong where the quirkiness and energy of the city injected new blood into his artworks. Since then he has chosen “Barlo” as a pseudonym, referring to his home town of Barletta and has established a more personal and mature aesthetic, mixing elements from both western and eastern cultures. Strongly influenced by metaphysics and alchemy his style focuses on mythological creatures, natural elements and playing with the weird and unusual to create work charged with a sense of wonder and nostalgia.

 

BARLO

Barlo是一位居港的意大利畫家和設計師。自幼繪畫,並在15歲時開始在牆上進行創作,後來在米蘭和諾丁漢修讀設計經歷拓展了他的創作探索。在倫敦短暫的居住後,他移居到香港。香港的奇特的活力為他的藝術作品注入了新的血。從那時起,他以家鄉巴列塔為藍本,使用「Barlo」作為代號,融合了東西方文化的元素,建立了一種更具個人化和成熟的美學。他深受形而上學和煉金術的影響,他專注於神話生物、自然元素及怪異和不尋常的事物,創作出充滿驚奇和懷舊感的作品。
