FULVIO IOAN – visual artist, printmaking specialist, researcher.
He graduated from the Ligustica Academy of Fine Arts in Genoa, Italy, with a Master’s degree in PAINTING and Decoration (2012-2015), and for years was assistant to the artist and woodcutter Giovanni Berio Ligustro. From 2018-2020 he was a scholarship student in ENGRAVING and MINTING at the Casa de la Monda (state mint) in Madrid, Spain. Fulvio practices chalcography and woodcut on paper and fabric. Fulvio paints with spontaneity, seeking SINCERITY in his images. His work is an attempt at rebirth and emergence from the darkness of our times (both social and cultural). His images are an intimate and personal expression, aimed at reaffirming the BEAUTY of life. He is currently working as a special education teacher at the Liceo Gobetti in Genoa, Italy.
