Refined, with a simple and understated grace, the Italian painter Cesare Landini creates lovely classically inspired imagery featuring landscapes, figures, and still-lives. Landini’s talents are particularly showcased in his paintings of villages nestled into picturesque hillsides, composed with effortless strokes and beautiful harmonies of color.

He paints in several stages of abstraction with meticulously painted still-life pictures, figural work inspired by Picasso’s Classical Period, and distinctive landscapes created with loose, playful brushwork. “I was born with pencil in my hand,” he states, and has pursued the figurative arts since early in life. At age twenty, Landini began to truly discover himself as an artist. He studied and grew artistically under the tutelage of an accomplished Italian artist while retaining his personally expressive style. Landini has been recognized for his artistic accomplishments at a variety of competitions including being awarded the Caramuel prize of Vigevano. This was a formative prize that boosted his reputation and led to subsequent exhibitions in Italy and Switzerland. Landini lives and works in Italy.
