Italian artist – “Time Watcher” – Antonio Finelli was born on February 23rd, 1985. He currently lives and works in Italy between Rome and Campobasso. His work has been exhibited in several galleries in Italy and abroad: Rome, Florence, Novara, Genoa, Palermo, Istanbul, Ankara, New York, and can also be found in private and public collections.

Antonio Finelli’s pencil drawings of The Time Observer take us on a perpetual journey through the inner world of human temporality and its associated meticulous analysis of that world, the main element of which is the passage through time and the marks it puts on the skin.

Finelli paints portraits of people of all ages, sexes and nationalities, whose facial expressions testify to the passage through time, and the artist also hopes to find evidence of the ruthlessness of time on the bodies of his characters. Antonio defines his works with one, general title: “Self-Portrait,” because in his pencil drawings he does not simply depict a person, but allows the viewer to contemplate the real results of the passage of time within a person.
