Enzo Santini

The artist

An autodidact, at high school he first demonstrated his strong propensity for art. After taking engraving courses at the Art Academy of Florence, he debuted as a graphic artist. In Bulgaria he learned the technique of stone lithography. Years of intense experiences in graphic art intersected seamlessly with pictorial creation and experimentation that led him to try his hand at encaustic painting, the technique in which he later completed his cycle dedicated to Saint Catherine. He held many national and international exhibitions.
