Enzo Marra
Enzo Marra’s imagery is marked by an immediacy and directness, the explored themes expressed made visible via instinctively applied linear and blocked out passages, executed to an intimate scale. Their largely angular nature conveying realtionships with symbols and sentiments related to the outside world. The purposely limited palette, allowing the depicted imagery to not be obscured or overtaken by unnecessary frivolous flourishes.
