PAOLO MASSIMO ABRANS
Paolo Massimo Abrans was born on June 6, 1952 into a family of painters. At the age of twelve he had his debut as painter with his uncle at an extemporary exhibition.
In 1983 he exhibits at the "Rotonda" and in '84 he presents a personal exhibition consisting of 30 paintings in Livorno. In 1987 he presented 25 paintings in his mother's small restaurant in Bologna together with his book of short stories entitled "Osteria La Botteghina". In the following years he is identified by his huge skies in which he expresses his own spirituality.
The skies are big compared to the horizon, sometimes occupying three fourths of the canvas, signifying the place where God resides.
His feeling that the spiritual content of his paintings is not being perceived by the public pushes Abrans into a deep crisis, and for two years he does not paint. He writes a novel describing the drama of a man with faith, living in a materialistic world entitled "1914", the year in which the author feels that art loses its significance. The novel is well received by the public and critics. Finally, he begins once again to paint and exhibit in Carrara, Lucca and Livorno.
In 1993 he completed another novel, "The alibi and the artist", describing the painting ambient the humiliation and the solitude of an artist who refuses compromises.
In 1994 he exhibited again in Livorno accompanying his paintings with a collection of 20 poems written between 1974-94 entitled "Let them be lost".
One morning, a young women in an elegant hat passes by his studio and he invites her to model for him. For one year he will continue to paint only women in hats.
One afternoon an extraordinarily beautiful young woman enters into his studio and he begins her portrait. When he finishes, the is surprised to see, instead of her own image, a landscape where the moon is reflected on the sea. For this occasion, Abrans writes the poem (It was neither Eve in paradise nor the Madonna, it was the moon one eve) and for six months continues to paint the moon.
During another crisis with painting he sculpts with clay. In 1998 he begins painting only with the spatula and from 1994-98 he paints and exhibits on the streets, reinforcing his fame as a natural talent but increasing his sense of solitude among the thousands that pass him. Abrams remains to this day a man in balance between inactivity and movement.
