He has lived and worked for many years in Tuscany, Italy.
His art is easy, refined, and tasteful.
His ability to surprise and compete with reality is evident when
tackling shells, ballroom slippers, eggshells, cuttlery and silver,
sheets, cards, flowers and baskets.
Di Maio is seduced by surrealisme and
television, in Di Maio's work there is both a bourgeois realism and a
spontaneous and fabulous surrealism which suddenly make non existent
heroes appear, like the musician of whom only the violin, suspended
between a hand and a chin which are not there, remains.
Di Maio represents dreams, invents
science fiction-like special effects where creatures are painted with
photographic realism. Alongside these spectacular effects, Di Maio
develops genres of nudes, still lives and portraits. In ancient times
the greatest praise given to painters was that of deceiving with the
appearance of reality " it seems real!" that is our reaction when
admiring Bruno Di Maio's work.
His works can be found in private and public collections in Europe, Japan, Australia and in the United States.
