Simone Bazzatti

I work as an engineer, a profession that demands precision, calculation, and control above all else. But emotions don’t follow blueprints. They accumulate quietly, unspoken, until they find another way out. For me, that way out is paint. I am entirely self-taught. Every technique I use (layered acrylic, collage, glitter, texture) was discovered through necessity, not instruction.

My figures are fragmented on purpose: eyes multiply, faces split across planes. This isn’t distortion for its own sake; it’s an honest portrait of how the inner life actually feels: layered, contradictory, never quite one thing. I work in the tradition of Neo-Expressionism and Pop Surrealism, drawn to bold colour and raw mark-making that forces a second look. The tension between logic and feeling, structure and chaos, is not a contradiction I resolve. It’s the engine of everything I make.
