Atelier de Dafanti :
Jean Claude Fantinati, known as Da Fanti (1946-2022), began painting at the age of 10. His first frame paintings date back to this period. Thanks to his Venetian mother, he discovered the greatest Italian painters, who gave him the first thrills of a passion that would never leave him. Every year, family vacations in Italy were primarily devoted to visiting museums, exhibitions and historical monuments.
For too many years, his professional obligations prevented him from letting this mad creative urge explode, but did give him the opportunity to visit most of Europe's greatest museums.
Meanwhile, the few paintings and drawings he produced reassured him that his faith was still intact.
In 2000, Jean Claude Fantinati set up his studio in Nîmes. He attended the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Nîmes for 5 years. He registered with the Maison des Artistes and became a professional in 2007.
He has taken part in numerous group exhibitions, where he has won several awards, as well as personal exhibitions, where he has enjoyed great success.
Between 2007 and 2016, he divided his time between two studios. One in Nîmes (466 bis chemin de blazin) and the other in Collioure (28 rue de l'égalité).
He traces his path along the paths of abstraction, a constructive, thoughtful abstraction in symbiosis with matter, color and movement.
He uses natural pigments, earths, sands from different horizons and recycled materials, mainly composites or plastics from the automotive industry. His canvases are named after the license plates of the cars from which he takes his raw materials.
The shapes and volumes of his canvases are similar to those of a sculpture. The symbiosis and harmony of his works are the result of a thorough technique.
A preliminary drawing is made from the elements he will introduce into the construction of his canvases. This is the kind of abstraction that leaves nothing to chance. He must think of his paintings as 80% finished before he even starts. His technique bears no repentance
The balance of his score is a real obsession, but at the end of the work, perhaps, we'll find a certain happiness...
