Man of the Sea & Outer Space

 

(1918 - 2006)

Mr. Montani began painting in 1938, with the sun, sea and sky providing him continual inspiration. From the very start, Mr. Montani distinguished himself with his originality. His paintings emerge from his everyday life and, allowing his imagination to run wild, plunge into the universality of mankind with every brushstroke. He is considered a modern painter with a keen sensibility of his surroundings and the ability to capture the mysterious rhythms interwoven in our lives. He uses mainly oils on canvas to produce magnificent effects, revealing a unique vision of the cosmos in his relentless quest for a glimpse of what lies beyond our planet.
