Nicola Samori is an Italian painter-painter and sculptor known for his brutal manipulation of works of art.
He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and lives and works in Bagnacavallo.
Samori's work is inspired by the works of great masters, more often in the Baroque style of the 16th and 17th centuries: he creates copies of them and then rips, scratches, pierces them, thereby transforming them, filling them with the restless spirit of our time. In roughly the same way, the artist also creates sculptural works, giving birth to new, modern images rooted in the history of art.
