- Biography:
- A true citizen of the World, Italian born (1967) Angelo now (since 2006) lives in Palermo- Italy. He has lived in Italy, Germany, Finland, Sweden, France, Denmark, Belgium, England, Brazil, and (2002-2005) Guernsey, where he determined to contribute formaking such values as peace, culture and education, spreading all over the world by means of his art works.
Since Angelo's first stunning collection was launched later in 2004, he has taken the art world by storm and his innovative, emotional/impressive , figurative images have achieved the enviable status of genuine collector's items.
This exceptional artist exploded onto the international scene two years ago, and has since captivated an entire generation of art lovers. His phenomenal Original Paintings have become some of the most sought after pieces on the contemporary art market.
His well known painting L'uomo e il karma - Humankind and his karma, enjoys a huge following worldwide. It became his brand, together with the concept The completeness of the Incomplete. L'uomo e il Karma- Humankind and his karma, has established him firmly at the forefront of the fine art community.
His innovative style, such as in Ombre/Shadows, has made an exceptional impact on the international market over the last year.
As Angelo Arrigo's main interest is focused on building bridges of dialogue, he doesn't generally like the narrow mentality, within which, unfortunately, the galleries are very often forced to act out of their own particular business interest only. Instead he has a predilection for a direct contact with the people willing to buy his artworks. As citizen of the world his constant thought is for people of whatever kind, age, gender, place, believes, culture, uses, in order to make his artworks working as ideal context where two and more human beings could develop bridges of sincere and passionate dialogue, through sharing such emotions provoked by his fine art paintings.
On the contrary, the art galleries are usually too far from such a context, because of they are the slave of the logic of the fine art sector/market, and of other interests too. Such things are very distant from the kind of relationships and people/citizens of the world which Angelo Arrigo is focused on. His aim is to make emotions (originated from his artworks) flow heart by heart.

Angelo Arrigo has directed the stage designing and all the aspects of the visual arts by projecting the images of seven of his most famous fine art paintings. (visit the url: http://www.arrigoart.com/news_message.php?nID=3 ).
(In particular, the opera, between the 4th and the 9th scene (the last one), has benefited from the experience of the cosmopolitan author of visual arts/fine art painting/ set / stage designing, Angelo Arrigo, as well as from a wide and impressive mix of special visual effects (lighting,etc?) and projections of seven of his visual art masterpieces (Ombre, Trasformation, L'uomo e il karma, Tentacles of the Consciousness, Abysmal distances, Untitled 1, and detail of sky with ray of sunlight , from Parent & child- Dialogues about Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo, the fundamental Law of the Life andthe Universe), which revealed themselves to be a decisive factor to sketch the innovative portrait of Cagliostro's character, proposed by Ninetta Cangialosi, after she having been studied Cagliostro in depth for several years).
