Costantino Castellotti was born in Rogliano (CS) in 1963. He moved to Rome in the 1980s and graduated in Architecture at "Università degli studi di Roma La Sapienza". After the advanced traineeship in " Teorie dell'Architettura" he continued his career as interior designer and he Kept alive his passion for painting by experimenting with different materials, specifically cardboard. In 2004 his first important exhibition was held in Rome at the Contemporary Art Centre "Luigi di Sarro". His paintings are not exclusively representational but they are meant to exhalt the materials used and the motion perception. Painting is just the assembly of free matter, physical traces and ductile substances.The entanglement of signs is unmistakable and overpowering but the apparent chaos is always under the control of a planned and studied composition. The artist believes man has reached the end of the line, the point of no return. It would be necessary to go back to a time in wich man was conscious that anything and everything had already been done in art. Conseguently, the artist opts for a minimal representation based on the use of primitive forms and graffiti. In his latest works the artist feels the need to express himself by staining the wite surface of the canvas with only few shapes, colours and series of prints.
