Lorenzo Gramaccia was born in Ancona in 1992. He graduated as Art Master and Applied Art with honors at Ancona's Art School and later his artistic research continued in Rome, where he got a first and second degree in Painting at Academy of Fine Arts, both cum laude.
Since the beginning he works in the visual arts field with a strong predilection for drawing, convinced that the emotional precision of the sign, in addition to its intimate and primordial value, could make it a contemporary aesthetic sensibility emblem.
In the last few years, he decides to experiment with the most innovative digital technologies related to visual art.
He exhibits in several galleries and museums, including "Pinacoteca Comunale d'Arte Contemporanea" in Gaeta, "Museo del Patrimonium" in Sutri, Capitoline Museums and Vatican Museums in Rome, in which some of his drawings became part of the collection in 2017.
In 2017 he also wins a international invitation that brings him to work at "Teatro dell'Opera" in Rome according to the dictates of the Italian set design. In 2018 he's awarded with the "Premio Speciale Mario Moderni" in the painting category. During the summer of the same year he took part at "Manifesta 12" in Palermo. In 2019 he was invited as winner and Italy representative at the international drawing contest "Dessine moi un Monde" in Monaco by the attendence of the Princess Stéphanie. In 2019 he takes part to the exhibition "Sogno Contemporaneo" at the Dingyuan International Art Center of Beijing and in 2021 his artwork wins the first edition of "EcoLogicArt" for the digital art category.
He also worked as cultural mediator at MAXXI in Rome for Yoko Ono's "Add Color" (Refugee Boat).
He then joins the art historian and professor Pietro Roccasecca for some courses: Drawing and graphic art history, Representation methods theory and history and Artistic techniques history at Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.
STATEMENTI investigate the human being. Weakness and temporality flow into the evanescence, property of our existential dimension and my art peculiarity.
My artworks are composed by the stratification of meticolous graphic signs. On the surface emerge particulars which convey towards lower layers, where the surface blends to the profundity.The modernity of these elements gives back man's natural ambivalence: essence and appearance, like body and soul, are connected in a indissoluble union.
Every layer keeps traces of the past like memory marks that slowly fades but don't vanish.Thanks to the emotional precision and freshness summoned by pastel porosity, take shape delicate loving maps which oppose the process of disappereance enclosing time, the brevity of every moment, suspended like a butterfly.
