Nelio Sonego was born in Sion, Switzerland in 1955. He lives and works in Concordia Sagittaria, Italy and London, U.K.  

The works of Nelio Sonego are present in numerous private collections in Italy, Germany, France, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Croatia.

Sonego has been extensively collaborating with poets on artist books since the late 70s.

The artist’s pictorial approach lets emerge a strong desire of spatiality. Possibility of a concrete, physical approach to the extreme limit of the outset, the artist’s work has been described as a conscious and coherent meditation through images on painting, meaning an open exploration of the potential of the ‘sign’, a focal element for the construction of a visual language.

Through the use of spray, Sonego’s creation of paintings materialises by physical occurrence in concrete images of portions of his mental space-time; images of coloured geometric routes that fluctuate in the void of the canvas. 

Deprived of a certain and necessarily limiting directionality, the artist’s work becomes the possible creator of its own continuous and mutable coming into being and its manifestations.
