Over forty years of active presence in the visual arts characterize the artistic research of Giulio De Mitri. He gives his work an ever-new value, full of stimuli and meanings: a cosmogonic repertoire drenched in mythical and sacred visions.
Giulio De Mitri sees the Mediterranean as the extraordinary universe that links the threads of human history, the cradle of civilization and culture, from West to East, North to South, and vice versa — a miracle that welcomes and distributes creativity and beauty. “The Mediterranean, a magical territory, open to all diversity,” says De Mitri “is an Eden where passion and reason, nature and history, meet and lose their boundaries and merge into a body and soul; a perfect osmosis capable of generating and determining new cultural and aesthetic life. A new and fruitful vision Meridiana, for a culture of dialogue, for a plural richness.”
Committed to the history and imagination of Mediterranean culture, De Mitri is present in prestigious national and international exhibitions (Budapest, Stockholm, Osaka, Samothrace Island, Ajdovščina, Porto Alegre, Philadelphia, Sarajevo, Berlin). These include the XV Quadriennale di Roma; LII and LIV Biennali di Venezia (J. Beuys. Difesa della natura; Sguardo contemporaneo; Padiglione Italia); Biennale del Fin del Mundo 2014/2015, Mar del Plata, Argentina; I Biennale Arte & Industria. Utopia and Reality, Labin, Croatia; Enviromental Art Festival Lakonia: arthumanature topos 2007, Sparta and Geraki (Greece). In 2016 he was awarded the 57th Premio Campigna.
