Antonio Milano (Putignano, 1994) is a visual artist, currently lives and works in Gioia del Colle (Bari). His research focuses on the relationship between the material composition and the visual language of the image. Experimentation with materials and chemical reactions led him to develop an idea of an autonomous and free image, in which the techniques and materials chosen actively contribute to the creation of the works.
In 2024 he inaugurated his first solo exhibition, Epifanie, at IAGA Contemporary Art Gallery in Cluj-Napoca.
