DAVID MARIA MARANI was born in Ventimiglia in 1960.
From 1971 to 1973 he attended the courses held by the sculptor Elio Melis. He then faced the study of drawing with the painters GIUSEPPE BALBO E MADDALENA SALVATICO.
He frequented the State Art Institute of Porta Romana, near Florence, where he graduated in 1979, attending sculpture courses held by Enzo and Bruno Innocenti, Marcello Guasti, Andrea Fedeli, Giovanni Hubbard, Manuela Ciabilli Paoletti, Leone Martelli, Guarguaglini and Sisto Zanetti. Always in Florence, from 1979 to 1981, he frequented the Accademy of Fine Arts, guided by the sculptor OSCAR GALLO
His creative journey runs along a privileged line: the representation of the human figure. Marani, who is a figurative artist, untangles his artistic journey starting from the Greek classicism, that was reproduced in the Academy's classrooms, the Michelangelsque plasticity and, more generally, the classicism on a solid academy formation, which engraft the suggestions and the moods which derive from the contemporary world and from the solicitations of an art in continuous evolution.
He
has organised annual collective exhibitions respectively denominated:
“AGORA' ” , “DOLCEART”,
“IMPRONTE”, “MAESTRI CONTEMPORANEI NELL’ARTE”,
“LE GESTE
POSITIF”, “ARTE IN CENTRO”,
"Scultori in Corso", "Le geste Positiv" for Ligurian and Tuscan
and French City Administrations.
He is the author of the Art Guide of the Province of Imperia. He restores munuments and sculptures, also in collaboration with the Florentine restorer ANDREA FEDELI
He has exposed in over eighty exhibitions in European and American cities,
among which New York, Cuernevaca, Amsterdam, Munich, Berlin, Athens, Belgrade,
Budapest, Copenhagen, Monte-Carlo, Nice, and Florence,where in 1995, he has been
invited to expose his works in the Saint Lorenzo Cathedral, with artists of
great intelligence, such as Marcello Guasti, Salvatore Cipolla, Silvio Loffredo,
Marcello Tommasi, Ademaro Bardelli, Piero Tredici, Bruno Paoli and Roberto
Greco.
In that same year, one of his sculptures has been chosen to be donated to
the director
MARIO MONICELLI, as an award to his career, during a great
multi-medial manifestation organised by the City of Viareggio.
The end of the Millennium arrives with the title of "FEMME" at the Lucertola Castle in Apricale (Imperia - Italy), where for two months Marani will expose, together with over fifty artists of international level, such as FOLON, SOSNO, emanuele LUZZATI, ANDY WAHROL, ARMAN, Cini and many others.
Marani's works belong to important private collections in Italy and in
other foreign countries.
1960 in Ventimiglia-Italien
geboren. 1973 nimmt er an Keramik - und Dekorationskursen teil und 1974 schreibt
er sich am staatlichen Kunstinstitut in Florenz ein, wo er sein Diplom fucr
Bildhauerei erwirbt (3-jaeluiger Kurs und Hochschule). Seine erste persoenìiche
Ausstellung gcht auf 1979 zurueek, und seit jenem Zeitpunkt hat er in
verschiedenen curopaeischen und arnerikanischen Staedten ausgestellt.
Figuerlicher Bildhaucr mit solider klassischer Grundlage; er hat eine
natuerliche Tendenz, "die Figur" als zentrales Komunikations-element
zwischen Schoepfer und Betrachter darzustellen. - Eine Art neuer abstrakter,
figuerlicher Kunst; eine cinfache Art und Weise, um nicht nur diejenigen
anzusprechen, die zwischen den Zeilen die Konturen einer Kunst erkennen koennen,
die von einigen Kritikern als vielfaeltige Realitaet der Bildhauerei definiert
wird. Marani, imrnerwaehrend sensibel gegenueber sozialen Evolutionen, hat seine
Kunsterfahrung durch verschiedenartige Darstellungen differenziert: Happening,
Performance und Experimente mit elektronischer Musik haben einige Jabre seiner
Kunstkarriere gezeichnet, um ihn dann auf den Weg der Wiedererlangung der
vererbten Fessel zu fuehren, die aus der Bildhauerci eine der aeltesten Kuenste
der Welt rnacht.
