Biography
Giovanni Mana is an artist whose work is nourished by a profound quest for harmony and serenity. His canvases are places of peace, where every colour and every form is conceived to convey a sense of calm and balance. His career is marked by a fascinating evolutionary path, which led him to gradually abandon figuration in favour of a deliberate abstraction, in which every painterly gesture becomes an act of inner reflection.
In the figurative phase of his career, Mana's works were pervaded by an intense attention to detail and a constant pursuit of beauty. Over the years, Mana began to move beyond figurative representation, seeking a more abstract and symbolic pictorial dimension. The abstraction the painter embraced was never the fruit of a chance pursuit, but a conscious step, aimed at further refining his aesthetic vision. The use of material and colour in Mana's more recent works becomes increasingly fluid and light, yet always rich in meaning.
