Desiderio Sanzi

Born: None

Desiderio Sanzi is an Italian artist working in the fields of painting, installations, performance, video production and directing. For many years he has travelled between Italy and Cuba and has participated in the 54th Venice Biennale in the Cuban Pavilion (2011), two editions of the Havana Biennale (2012 and 2015) and the 4th Biennale "Fin del Mundo" in Valparaiso, Chile (2015). Numerous exhibitions in Cuba, Chile, China, Japan, Syria, Turkey, Germany, USA, UK, South Korea, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary. His painting feeds the means that he uses. Desiderio doesn’t follow an aesthetic itself; everything is in cycles: as a director that paints. The base of his art is expressionist but related with the “magic realism”: to the reality that surrounds him, but with surreal details that multiplies internal bonds like an endless history.
