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."

Luca Coser is an Italian artist and academic known for his contributions to contemporary painting and drawing. Born in Trento, Italy, in 1965, Coser has developed a distinct style characterized by a blend of abstraction and figuration, often exploring themes of memory, time, and the human condition.
