Aurelio Bruni is an Italian artist. He was born in Bliera on October 15th 1955. He received a degree in scenography from the Institute of Art in Spoleto. As an artist he is self-taught, as he independently “built a house of knowledge” on the foundations laid while still in school. He began painting in oil at the age of 19. At the present time lives and works in Umbria.

Bruni’s early painting has its roots in surrealism, but over time he begins to focus on the affinity of lyrical romanticism and symbolism, enhancing this combination with the refined sophistication and purity of his characters. The animate and inanimate objects acquire equal dignity and look, almost, hyper-realistic, but, at the same time, they do not hide behind the curtain, but allow you to see the essence of your soul. Versatility and sophistication, sensuality and solitude, thoughtfulness and fruitfulness are the spirit of Aurelio Bruni, nourished by the splendor of art and the harmony of music.

Who is a great artist? Someone who paints well? The one who puts on many of his exhibitions? The one whose work graces the best museums and art galleries in the world? Perhaps a few years ago you could say so. Nowadays, an artist can be called great if he is recognized by the “old” school, if he walks in parallel with the new, without crossing the line of crazy, sublimating the classic and modern. Undoubtedly, the work of a genius evokes emotions in the viewer. Today we will talk about the stunning contemporary artist from Italy, whose works can be safely put in a row with the masterpieces of art.

Modern masterpieces

Aurelio Bruni, that is the name of the Italian artist. He was born in the town of Blair in October 1955. Bruni has no art education, the young man studied stage design at the Spoleto Art Institute. Aurelio is a nugget, because as an artist he became solely through self-education, the foundation was the knowledge received about painting in his school years. Bruni discovered oil painting at the age of 19, since then he hasn’t parted with a brush. Now the artist works and creates in Umbria.

The earliest works of Bruni are more in the direction of surrealism, it is very clearly felt in the images he created.

As he grows up, the artist switches to lyrical romanticism, symbolism. Refinement, plasticity of lines, detailing – all this begins to be traced on the canvases of the Italian. What is surprising is that inanimate objects stand in line with animate ones, namely with humans: each element looks hyper-realistic, however, this does not prevent us from discerning the essence and grasping the meaning laid down by the artist.

The sophistication, aesthetics and sensuality of the work evokes a slight sense of melancholy, loneliness and brooding. This is the spirit that permeates Aurelio Bruni’s stunning paintings.
