After searching the Internet far and wide, I could not find a biography for Stefano Ferreri for anything! He's the amazing wine and martini artist we've been so crazy for, but I was beginning to wonder if the artist actually was real!After emailing his publisher, I got the answer no other gallery bothered to seek out!
So here it is, the only place on the Internet with the biography of Stefano Ferreri!
Born in San Giovanni Valdarno in 1946, Stefano Ferreri uses his childhood in Tuscany as a constant source of inspiration in his paintings.
Ferreri developed an appreciation for the full bountiful potential of the land that was worked by people with great skill, vision, and patience. Enjoying wine and understanding the people that produced the great vintages were both part of the culture that surrounded Ferreri as a young man.
He was trained at a local Art Academy and has cultivated a technique that is realistic and also rich with brushstrokes. Wine has become a favourite subject for Ferreri as he has taken the cultural inspiration of his Tuscan roots and transformed the imagery into strikingly dramatic glimpses of the rituals and visual details that surround the drinking of fine wine. His painting style creates a new contemporary realism by utilizing deep rich colours, the play of light on glass and liquids, and very unusual perspectives.
Early in his career, Ferreri’s works became popular with food and wine connoisseurs who appreciated his masterly technique and his knowledge of the subject. However, in recent years a wide range of collectors from many different backgrounds and interests are interested in his work. Wine
has a universal appeal, as it has throughout history. Ferreri’s paintings are displayed in many private and public collections in Italy, France, and Northern Europe. He has won several awards and competitions in Italy, and his popularity continues to now grow in North America. All of his published prints are available as art on canvas, or a canvas transfer from the Naked Wall Art Gallery.
