Tanino g. Infantino @ Rome Art Directory

Tanino g. Infantino

Painter and watercolourist, but above all sculptor. In the nineties I started my own research with watercolour, blending the colours and bringing out textures that hint at the existence of overlying planes. At the moment I make sculptures.

Data and contact details

Gaetano (Tanino) G. Infantino lives and works between Rome and the Sabina region. From a young age, he was interested in painting and sculpture, training as a self-taught artist and frequenting circles of artists and artisans. He lived in France and Switzerland, where he exhibited his work, before moving to Rome in the 1970s.

Alongside his creative output, he has dedicated approximately fifty years of his life to clinical and mental health care, working for decades as a psychologist and psychotherapist within public institutions and the Department of Mental Health. This long professional activism and his attention to the complexities of mental distress have fueled a rich body of nonfiction and fiction (including "La cucina dei ricordi," "Il sogno svelato," and the recent "L’uomo artefice. La materia che cura").

Today, in the quiet of the Sabina region, he devotes himself entirely to sculpture—particularly olive wood—and painting. Her research transforms clinical experience into a visual gesture, where living matter and its wounds become instruments of truth and reconstruction. She actively promotes projects that merge art and mental health, such as "Connections and Nodes of the Human Network" and "Inside the Mind," presented as part of Rome Art Week.
