| Erasmo Amato
Biography,
Italian, born
on the Amalfi coast, (this small piece of land was a birthplace
of famous painters from the Middle Ages with the same family name,
like Giovanni Angelo Amato or the artist's families "d' Amato" whose pieces
of art are still to be admired in the churches by Atrani and Ravello
etc. It is not known whether between "Amato" Families
a direct relationship exists. However, the likelihood is big very
much).
For Erasmo Amato
the drawing since the early school years has been always his big passion,
but he had to choose a different way for his professional life. He attended
a college in Salerno and finished it as an electrical engineer, then he
went to the university in Naples.
There were a
lot of different reasons why he decided to leave the university and to
move to
Munich (Germany),
looking for a job. In Germany he worked with automatic data processing
systems, which
were used before the personal computer came in each office. His fantasy
and his skill as manual worker has been an important part in his job and
his life. But in his free time he has always made creative
projects.
Attending courses
of watercolor painting, painting to oil, caricature and ceramics he learned
to express himself.
His works are not limited to the traditional Painting but it is a continuo’s
try with modern computer graphics photography His passion for
the drawing and the cartoons then, tries critically to analyze in humorous
key a few looks of the society in whom we live.
To the
first collective of "
ARTE-QUATTRO ", group of artists of
Munich ( Germany),
of which
Erasmo Amato is initiator, he presented some compositions with the
age-old
technology of
the Pyrography ( burning with glowing metal point in wood) he thus
demonstrating
the harmony of the ancient techniques with the issues of our day.
On the art
exhibition "Arte
Quattro" was also a children book presented, (written in two languages,
German and Italian,
and by him illustrated ), a fairy tale of the Mediterranean area
partly forget, which his grandmother always, before falling asleep in
his childhood him narrates. "the story of chickpea (better
known in Naples as o' cunt' do Cicer’ ).
