About The Artist
Alessandro Denotti paints imagined worlds that feel hauntingly real - dark fantasy rendered with the depth and discipline of classical realism. Each canvas becomes a portal: immersive, intricate, and deeply atmospheric.
Born in Cagliari, Sardinia, he discovered drawing as a boy and developed his eye through chiaroscuro before turning to oil painting. Manga and anime: Miyazaki, Kentaro Miura, Takehiko Inoue - shaped his early imagination alongside the fantastical visions of Gustave Doré, laying the groundwork for a visual language where myth, memory, and the uncanny meet.
That language draws its technique from the old masters - Caravaggio, Bouguereau, Waterhouse, Goya - and finds kinship with contemporaries like Roberto Ferri, Serge Marshennikov, Cesar Santos, and Andrew Tischler. Across his work, human emotion, classical mythology, and esotericism converge into a vision that is at once historically grounded and darkly imaginative.
