Andrea Frosolini was born in Rome on September 16, 1993, where he currently lives and studies.

He began attending the Academy of Fine Arts in 2012, choosing the “decoration” program.

In 2014 he took part in his first group exhibition in Rome. Throughout 2014 and 2015 he participated in numerous group shows in the capital, and in the summer of 2015 his first solo exhibitions were presented in Rome, at the Menexa gallery, and in Germany. On September 10, 2015, he began an artist residency at the Castello di Rivara for gallerist Franz Paludetto and inaugurated the group show “Nuovi Orizzonti” on September 20.

Frosolini’s artistic research is mainly based on the representation of pain in a semi-abstract form. The remarkable series “Per Aspera Ad Astra” confronts us with paintings that explore pain through the depiction of bruises, in an attempt at sublimation represented by their astral resemblance to nebulae, as well as a pictorial inquiry into the threshold between figurative and abstract. The depiction of pain through these bruise/galaxies becomes an exaltation of it, alluding to the paradox between harm and beauty, between bruise and galaxy. Pain leads to awareness as a way to reach the cosmos.
