Isaia Antonaci (Sesto San Giovanni, 1985) trained in painting at the Accademia di Brera, developing a path that combines physical action and transcendence. His research is nourished by a post-vandalic matrix, underground experiences, and a long practice in martial arts—elements that have transformed the gesture from impulsive action to an essential, conscious, and meditative language.
His work explores the relationship between fullness and emptiness, where painting becomes an act of presence. Each piece is created as a space for listening, where matter and absence balance each other, creating tension between the internal and external, between permanence and dissolution. In this process, fragmentation becomes a metaphor for the human condition, an inner landscape built through layers, fractures, transparencies, and silences. The reconstruction of experience is reflected in minimal traces and suspended forms that emerge in dialogue with the material.
