Alessandro Padovan

Alessandro Padovan is an Italian artist born in 1983 in Borgomanero.

A self-taught artist with a degree in Mechanics, he began creating as part of the Drill Monkeys Art Duo in 2012. He then continued independently from January 2017. It was after this period that he decided to combine his mechanical expertise with his creativity by using a new creative method involving self-tapping screws, known as Screw Art.

The Screw Art technique is not well known; one of the artist’s main goals is to popularize this form of art, which involves creating by positioning screws on a panel and applying acrylic paint.

The originality of Screw Art lies not only in the technique used but also in the three-dimensional effect that can be achieved by varying the size of the screws and the depths used. Adding paint generally results in contemporary sculptural and pictorial works.

In recent years, Alessandro Padovan has succeeded in being featured in galleries, auction houses, art fairs in Italy and abroad, and at major charitable gala events.
