риккардо ликата (1929 - 2014)
Riccardo Licata is an Italian artist known for his large mosaic paintings in public spaces in Europe.
He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and was an active member of the international artistic movement "Space".
Licata showed his multifaceted talents in different fields of art: he worked on theatrical sets and costumes, was a sculptor and engraver, master of mosaics and a glass designer.
But his most important brainchild is the artistic language he created, a kind of alphabet consisting of symbols and graphic strokes that will characterize most of his works. These features, which Licata himself defines as imaginary letters, "graphic and pictorial writing" that draws inspiration from the language of music, are used by the artist to create works that will make him famous.
Licata lived and worked in Paris and Venice, was appointed professor of mosaics at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, professor of fine arts at the Sorbonne and of printmaking at the Académie Götz (Paris).
