Born in Messina, on the east coast of Sicily, Italy in 1982. Started drawing and been exposed to art since young age, as his father was an art teacher. While undertake his university studies in Messina, he start painting on canvas and doing some local exhibitions in the area. Once ultimate university studies, he start his career as a tattoo artist in Catania. During this period he quit painting on canvas and focus only on tattooing , moving to London, United Kingdom and starting travelling intensely. After 17 years into tattooing in 2023 he decide to get back on painting on canvas and started his new artistic journey while in London.

The work of Andrea Cucinotta is the result of the unconscious contemporary creative action that, drawing from the stimuli of his personal experiences, finds in the representation on canvas the right tool to convey his thoughts. Completely devoid of any trace, but guided solely by emotional, visual, olfactory, and tactile memories, the artist reproduces environments and situations that effectively engage the observer’s senses, transporting them into a dimension of absolute familiarity and comfort. A chair, a rug, a lamp, a painting, objects and tools of everyday use are the furnishings of a microcosm where human presence is felt but never depicted, with the intent to give voice to the actions performed, absent from view, yet captured through their placement in space.

The colours and construction techniques used in the works thus become necessary elements and translate Cucinotta’s desire to bring to life a simple story arranged on multiple levels of interpretation and narration, where perspective, hinted at in the plane, defines not only a space and a place but, first and foremost, helps the observer direct their gaze toward multiple points.
