Michele Lostia, painter and sculptor, born in 1964 in Rome.
During his adolescence, he observed artists such as Burri, Tano Festa, Kunellis, Paladino, Clemente, while simultaneously exploring the work of Richard Serra, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, and James Turrell.
He has worked with various materials, starting with copper and zinc, oxidized to mark the passage of time, focusing on a concept of balance that materials and forms adopt in their daily transformation.
He has also worked with lead and iron, moving through plastic materials, plexiglass, and PVC.
Over the years, he has conveyed the passage of time and evolution to the materials, eventually using light and aerospace aluminum, moving toward a concept of dynamic spatial minimalism.

He began his artistic career with a solo exhibition at the important Galleria Ca’ d’Oro in Rome in 1996 with the show “Equilibri.” He later exhibited in many galleries and public spaces, including Galleria San Giorgio in Naples (2000), Galleria Politeama in Naples (2001), Galleria Art Process in Paris (2002), Palazzo della Provincia in Rome (2006), the Monumental Complex of Vittoriano in Rome (2006), Politecnico di Milano (2006), Bait Muzna Gallery in Muscat, Oman (2006), and Galleria Il Cortile in Rome (2006). In 2007, he held a solo exhibition at Galleria Pio Monti in Rome titled “Dinamo Spaziale,” curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, beginning a “spatial dynamo” work connected to light and flight. At the Electronic Art Café, Piazza Farnese in Rome, he exhibited multiple times curated by Achille Bonito Oliva and Umberto Scrocca. He exhibited at Salwa Al Sabah Hall, Kuwait City, Kuwait (2009) with “Spacial Dynamics” curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, and at Galleria Ninni Esposito in Bari (2009) also curated by Achille Bonito Oliva. Other exhibitions include Museo MAN in Nuoro with “In the Middle” (2010) and the projection of his video “Spacial Dynamics” at Palazzo Reale in Milan during the Stone City exhibition (2012) curated by Umberto Scrocca.

His works have been sold at auction at Art Curial in Paris and Phillips in London, and are present in various private collections in the Sardinia Region.
