Antonio Di Paola was born in Palermo in 2000. 

At 17, while attending the Accounting Institute, he began drawing spontaneously and continuously. He later honed his technical skills, graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo in 2022 with a degree in “Environmental Art and Experimental Languages.” He is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Painting from the same academy.

Antonio paints fearsome characters, equipped with claws, sharp teeth, electric tails, and broadswords, the fruit of the artist’s sensitivity and overflowing imagination, which he seeks to control through form and colour. To create his works, Di Paola uses an original combination of techniques, including watercolor, acrylic, oil pastels, pencil crayons, pigments, and ecoline, bringing to life his eccentric fantasy world, teeming with ever-changing characters.
