Albino Lorenzo

(Tropea, 1922 - 2005)

Signed bottom right.
Painter who knew how to represent the pure identity of his land through nuanced brushstrokes, Lorenzo Albino was a faithful guardian of the memory of the Calabrian people and a devoted son of his Tropea.

With his works he transmitted the most authentic traditions of Calabria, narrating the rural and intimate stories of peasant culture, sincere and nostalgic works in contrast with a society leaning towards uncontrollable technological development.

Called «the poet of the land", the "faithful guardian of the farmers of the South", the "portraitist of the poor", Albino, thanks to his artistic production, translated the memories, everyday life and breath of his warm Calabria into images.
