The Colours of Atrani (Amalfi Coast)

Working with oil paint on canvas, Alex Bertaina’s characteristic style seems to capture a landscape viewed throughout time. Criss-crossing shards of colour, light and shadow hint at the dynamic nature of each scene, throughout the changing seasons. Despite his unusual position as a self taught artist, Bertaina has received global, critical acclaim and homage. With a lifelong passion for creative expression, Alex reflects that “The child who tried to create a clean and tidy world from the jumble of scribbles made by his classmates has ended up increasing his passion as a painter. Today, thanks to a constant and continuous commitment, I am known at world level for my Mediterranean landscapes, my Venetian paintings and for my snowy mountain views. Maybe my dream within the deep of my soul is coming true”.
