Francesco Cervelli was born in Rome in 1965.

After high school, he moves to Paris to study late nineteenth century art, and the places visited by the artists of the time.

He has exhibited in many international galleries and museums.

2007, On the edge of vision, new idioms in Indian & Italian contemporary art, Victoria Memory Hall, Calcutta.

2008, XV Quadriennale of Rome.

2010, awarded the 61st edition of the Michetti Prize, Francavilla al Mare, Chieti.

2016, The Manifestation of a Dream, L & C Tirelli gallery in Vevey, Switzerland.

2017, Nel Fondo del tempo, Mucciaccia Contemporary, Rome.

Francesco Cervelli combines a high technical resolution of painting with laborious conceptual antecedents, that he organizes in genuine pictorial cycles. He has long been conducting a research focused on the artists’ studios of the last century, that he elaborates in uninhibited circumstances of a peremptory oneiric matrix. Francesco Cervelli lives and works in Rome.
