Biography
Antonio Pasciuti was born in Lacedonia (Avellino). For the needs of his father, a teacher, he moved to Santeramo in Colle (Bari) from early childhood. Enrolled at the University of Bari, in the faculty of Economics and Commerce, he graduated in Foreign Languages. After a few years of teaching, he dropped out of school, to devote himself exclusively to painting, thus following a vocation known to him since his childhood. He actively participates with exhibitions and competitions, in national and international artistic life. He is known as The Painter of the Murge. After having dedicated almost all of his life to the landscape and the study of color, the decisive step is the transition from the post-impressionistic effects to the avant-garde abstract-informal, to then complete his artistic cycle with paintings that show particular interest in the "more free", more and more abstract and tending towards the informal. The artist died on March 4th 2021 in Acquaviva delle Fonti.
