Siro Cugusi 1980

Lives in Sardinia. Works in Sardinia.

Represented by:

Valerius Gallery

Siro Cugusi was born 1980 in Italy.
He lives and works in Sardinia.

Siro Cugusi's work investigates the tension between the figurative and the abstract, offering a place of meditative introspection where one can
contemplate beauty and mystery. Through paintings characterised by figures that no longer correspond to the names we gave them and which do
not respect the traditional narrative, Siro creates an autonomous and personal language unknown, full of archaic and metaphorical meaning. This
language is presented not as clear images, but in the way memories often present themselves to us, as in a dream: veiled, without logic, incomplete
and coloured by the moment. Human bodies, flora, fauna and the mineral world co-exist together, not in a rational space but where the laws of
nature are upturned: an inner sanctuary for both human and mythical beings, a place of allure, mystery and sublime delights.

Siro Cugusi: a painterly escape from reality

Until 29 March, Valerius Gallery in Luxembourg City presents a solo exhibition that delves into the poetic and mysterious universe of Italian artist Siro Cugusi. His work moves within the twilight zone between dream and reality, where the figurative and the abstract meet. Cugusi’s oil paintings evoke utopian landscapes that seem unbound by earthly laws: geometric structures and human and animal forms overlap, botanical elements float in intangible spaces, and perspectives shift as if gravity momentarily loosens its grip.
