Aurelio Gaiga lives and works in Villafranca (Verona). His practice centres on medium-scale oil paintings on canvas, characterised by dense brushwork and a vivid palette. The figures inhabiting his paintings, often caught in ordinary, everyday actions, originate from digital photographic snapshots. Gaiga fragments the pixel structure of the image and rearticulates it through an analogue painterly process. Alongside intimate scenes, his source material also draws on socially charged events with strong iconic resonance, which enter the collective imagination as historical turning points. Gaiga’s work has been presented internationally in solo and group exhibitions, including "Mestre Lab #2" (2024), Forte Marghera (Venice); "Infinity Academy" (2019), Palazzo Ducale (Sabbioneta); and "Flu Games Berlin 2" (2016), Malzfabrik (Berlin).
