= Stelman = Stelman, pseudonym of Stelio Manneschi (Talla, November 10 1927 - Arezzo 20 Ottobre 1998) was an Italian painter.

Biography
Stelman was born in Talla on the 10th November 1927. His mother, Lina, painter and miniaturist, died when he was less than a year old.

Due to the avowed and longing lack of his mother, he had been loving to paint since his childhood. His painting career started by portraying highly evocative and symbolic glimpses of Arezzo at night. He reproduced a lot of famous classical works of art, especially Van Gogh.

Until, at the beginning of the 70s, he chose to focus only on his art, here he started his path that would led him to develop an original and personal style: he found newspapers and magazines clippings from his contemporary medium scene and then he reassembled them into sketches thanks to his "vision"; based on the sketches he produced the painting, always oil on canvas, full of chromatic effects, tangled landscaped or pored solutions which are always irreverent and redrafted on the imminent and permeated media language.
