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.
