L’armonia dell’arte: l’equilibrio tra arte e vino | Enrico Rossi | TEDxIsola del Liri
L'arte e la viticoltura sono due mondi che condividono passione, pazienza e la ricerca dell'equilibrio perfetto. Ugoone, artista poliedrico che esplora pittura, grafica e arte digitale, racconta come trovare il proprio stile sia simile a coltivare un vigneto: servono cura, tempo e il giusto palco per esprimersi. Con esperienze di insegnamento in scuole, carceri e REMS, dimostra che l'arte è anche crescita e riscatto. Un viaggio tra creatività e natura, alla scoperta della vera armonia. In arte Ugoone.
La passione per la pittura lo accompagna fin da bambino, quando lo facevano colorare senza sapere che stava gettando le basi per quella che sarebbe diventata la sua vita. La sua espressione avviene tramite la pittura a olio, la grafica e l’arte digitale, al fine di cercare sempre nuovi linguaggi e tecniche per trasmettere emozioni
Organizza corsi d’arte per bambini, e insegna anche in contesti particolari come carceri e REMS, poiché crede fermamente che l’arte possa essere una forma di riscatto.
