Vito Stramaglia (born in Italy) is a painter who lives and works between Rome and Toronto. His paintings are full of energy: vivid color, confident shapes, and lively scenes that recall celebrations, encounters, and, above all, moments of love and connection. At first glance, you can feel light and joyful, sometimes touched with gentle irony. But as you stay with the work, a deeper note appears—questions of belonging, identity, and human fragility. In Stramaglia’s worlds, beauty and tension quietly exist side by side.
He has presented solo and two-person exhibitions in Italy and abroad, including
Power Poles, Tarantino-Belli Gallery, Toronto (2024);
Lamacoppa, with the family of the renowned publisher Mondadori, Ostuni (2021);
Tacitamente, Chamber of Deputies, Rome (2016); and Kuli Alma – The All World, Statuto 13, Milan (2015).
His work has been shown across Europe and North America, including Chicago, Oslo, Berlin, Miami, Lisbon, São Paulo, Vienna, Florence, and London, and has also appeared occasionally in film and publishing.
