Ugo Martino, was born in Montesano sulla Marcellana in the province of Salerno. An up-and-coming artist in the contemporary art scene, he has exhibited in many Italian cities and in Germany, where he has been described as an artificer of mystical and kaleidoscopic thinking. His fantastical paintings of today are inspired by a metaphysical, mathematical and poetic blend. An eclectic painter, no doubt, an extremely interesting mind of our time. His works can be found in Museums, Art Galleries, Pinacotecas and in public and private collections in Italy and abroad. He is featured in magazines, art periodicals and anthologies. Well-known critics have spoken about him.
