GIORGIO CELIN

b. 1986, Italy / Colombia

Giorgio Celin was born in 1986 in Barranquilla, Colombia, grew up in Italy and now lives and works in Barcelona. He did not complete academic art training and works mainly in oil. His figurative paintings deal with migration, belonging, relationships and nostalgia, drawing on his own experience as a migrant. He often depicts figures in a tender embrace in nocturnal, moonlit scenes, using bright, non-naturalistic colour. His work has been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome (2019), in galleries in London, Naples, Berlin, Miami and New York, and at the Art Busan (2022) and EXPO Chicago (2023) fairs.
