Marco Cestari, a short
monograph
Marco Cestari began to
practice the art of Chan
painting producing ideograms
at 29, after studying tourism
communication in Hawaii and
the art of Japan.
He describes his work as
follows: "As a Westerner, I
felt that I had to draw on
Western symbols and combine
them with the Oriental
technique to produce a pure,
personal, authentic
expression."
Cestari the man and the artist
expresses the essence of the
new Millenium: the fusion of
cultures and symbols. The
culture is Shodo, the art of
Japanese writing. The style
is Chan, a natural human
expressive drawing technique.
Behind each ideogram lie years
of subtle preparation: In
addition to studying in Japan
and Hawaii, Cestari studied
aesthetics in Italy under
André-François Villon, writer
and art director of Harper's
Bazaar.
After publishing his thesis
"Poetry and Nature in Rainer
Maria Rilke” Cestari received
his doctorate in Foreign
Literature in 1989 from the
University of Feltre, Italy.
Cestari was born in Bolzano,
Italy on August 13, 1961.
