- Biography

Francesco Vella, born in Caneggio (Switzerland) in 1954, having completed his compulsory education, he attended the High School of Commerce of Bellinzona then enrolled at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, where he graduated in 1980 with Prof. Zeno Birolli.
In 1986 he presents his first solo exhibition.

The artistic research of Vella begins in the early eighties with a series of post-informal experiences where he pasted objects and images taken from many different cultural contexts within the magmatic color, thus highlighting the overlap of disordered and heterogeneous forces and impulses, of knowledge, facts, information, memories and images that come together and live together – more or less harmoniously – in each of us, making it a conglomeration of items, a physical cultural and psychological realities in constant motion, impossible to define.
Since its inception, the painting of Vella is intended as a reflection on the complex and changing concept of identity in relation to what surrounds us and fills us.

He lives and works in Chiasso, Switzerland.
