Niccolò Fornari (Rome, 1996) is a non-figurative visual artist whose painting research also extends to textual art.

His practice revolves around an introspective investigation, focused on analyzing his own emotional flows and inner oscillations, which he likes to call “trends.” These states are expressed through the interaction of mark, handwriting, and color, in a gestural and textual painting that alternates density and sparsity in a continuous dialogue between conscious and unconscious.

After graduating in 2015 from the European Linguistic High School, he initially approached architecture and fashion design, experiences that contributed to building his visual language, marked by a sense of structure and composition.

The design dimension remains a constant element, even when translated into a pictorial key, in the construction of his realities.

In 2024 he earned a degree in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, under professors Giuseppe Di Lorenzo and Sergio Sarra. His thesis focused on the analysis of the works of three masters of abstract expressionism whom he considers references for his artistic path: Willem de Kooning, Emilio Vedova, and Franz Kline, with an emphasis on their radical commitment to a painting that transcends figurative boundaries, opening new expressive and communicative possibilities.

In December 2024, he inaugurated his first solo exhibition at the Fiorano exhibition space, part of Gallerja directed by Alessandro Boncompagni Ludovisi, curated by Ofelia Sisca. In the same year, he participated in the YICCA – International Contest of Contemporary Art, expanding his visibility in the artistic context.

His work continues to develop in a constant tension between impulse and reflection, between writing and gesture, maintaining a research that delves into the personal while opening up to a universal dimension.
