Luca Battini

Biography

Luca Battini, born in 1970 in Rosignano Marittimo (Livorno), has been passionate about Italian figurative art since childhood. He studied at the Liceo Artistico and later graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence. He then refined his mastery of classical techniques—fresco, drawing, oil painting, and egg tempera—studying with Italian and international masters.

In an era when traditional art was often dismissed, Battini found strength and inspiration in the past. His work embraces Renaissance techniques and materials, using entirely natural substances, just as artists did over five centuries ago. From the preparation of the surface to the final brushstroke, every step is carried out by hand with the same care and craftsmanship of the old masters.

Battini’s vision is not about imitation but reinterpretation. His figures belong to the contemporary world yet seem timeless, suspended between past and present. Tradition becomes a living source of expression—rich, mature, and emotionally resonant.

As he explains: “I like to think of painting as something deeply rooted in our land and traditions, a journey that brings us back to our origins. My work aspires to honor that legacy—not with presumption, but with hope.”
