Luca Coser Italian, b. 1965
Biography
"For me, painting is "naming," and making art is defining a mystery, a mystery that manifests itself where words and images collide with the impossibility of expression."
"I'm drawn to words because words enable thought, and in my case (but not only in me) they enable painting. My painting is full of words."
