Biography

D'Amico was born in Vietri sul Mare on the Amalfi Coast, and lives and work in Prague. After a self-taught apprenticeship that lasted throughout his teens, he took courses in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples. Around twenty-three years decides to leave the Southern Italy, to have a broader contact with the international art scene, and follows different routes, including: Barcelona in Spain London, and then went to New York City, where he joined in 2006 in the large group of emerging artists, actors and musicians, that find themselves living in the new Brooklin, as Williamsburg and Green Point, but looking for areas of visibility, collaboration and records in Manhattan. D'Amico exhibits for the gallery Monkdogz Urban Art in Chelsea on 27th street. But will the knowledge, (one of which, with Francesco Clemente made in a bar in Brooklyn) and long visits to MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), then replace it very soon with the long sessions of sketches made in the subway, in the square of Union Square on the 14th Street, in the crowded streets of Manhattan and outlying stations and other underprivileged suburbs of New York, which will lead him to launch his personal style of painting.

The style

His style is a combination of semi-abstract and expressionist hard to framing philological and cataloging area. His images are mostly structures and machines^[1], capable of collecting energy and matter." All those energies or forces disrupted, with a degree of vibrational intensity of which matter consists. And own his quest for physical purity, this allows that his images are often acts of violence against the so-called ultra modern commercial world, the Western policy, which often forgets the full meaning of the idea of life and intelligence".^[2]
