Samorì has taken part in the Venice Biennale twice (20). He also produces frescoes and sculptures. The artist paints on board or canvas, as well as surfaces like copper and semi-precious stones, incorporating these distinctive textures into his pieces. Perforating, scratching or literally peeling off the paint, either abruptly or with painstaking care, he gives rise to new images that are rooted in art history, but express modern torments in a contemporary language. Samorì starts with meticulously produced copies of works by great masters, mostly from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, dominated by the encounter between light and shadow, which he then transforms, infusing them with the troubled spirit of our times.
