Though his bold brush strokes assure the onlooker that he or she is indeed viewing a painting, the attention to detail and emotion ensconced into Michele Del Campo’s work hint at a photographic realism. Widely exhibited throughout Europe, Del Campo’s compositions are stunning to behold, enriched by his innate understanding of not only the human form but those physical quirks and manners of expression that make every one of his subjects a unique entity, exactly true to their real-life selves. In the paintings included below, one can easily imagine the conversations, the goings-on of the beautiful young people depicted as they go about their seemingly carefree lives in a Mediterranean metropolis. Born in Sannicandro Garganico, Italy, in 1976, Del Campo makes his home in London, UK.
