Vincenzo Balsamo: the last great master of the 20^th and 21^st centuries…

How could alone an aluminum tube of colors produce such a majestic beauty…How could a piece of wood, a brush with animal or plastic hair create such marvelous hills, prairies and houses on the face of linens…How could a flesh…How could mortal hands immortalize the mind, the soul, the beauty, the visions, the dreams and the worlds within worlds on a canvases, if art was only a human medium. I do not believe in that, because I saw the art of Balsamo!! It is much more than that…For the art of Balsamo transcends us through time, space, unknown regions of our mind and soft landscape of our heart. The art of Balsamo is transmitted to us through the flesh but, it is whispered by the lips of Unknown Gods! Maybe by sorcerers of ultimate magical beauty! From 1969 to present, Balsamo kept on producing masterpieces. At 68, He is more productive and creative than ever. He made his mark on history. He explored and conquered all forms, shapes, dimensions, concepts, borders and media of the abstract and the perceptual. He will live for ever. His art is already an eternal flame. Today, Balsamo rejoices with muses and divine messengers. He shares with his beloved ones, the tranquility and serenity he found in Verona. A charming and magically beautiful Italian city. It was a great honor and most certainly a great delight for my eyes, my heart and my pen, writing this piece about the greatest living artist of our time. I might have been passionate and emotional in writing this article. So what? Without passion, there is no love. Without love, there is no emotions. Without emotions, there is no reason for writing…And without Vincenzo Balsamo, there is no art!! Let’s pause for a moment. Forget about this article. Enjoy the gallery of Balsamo and drink to Italia, for Italia brought to world the best of the best artists of our time.
