Agostino Veroni – Modern Oil Painter
Italian Impressionist Art | Textured Palette Knife Painting
“To paint is to tell what I feel, what strikes me. Nature is the protagonist of my paintings. I love to paint from life to capture the essence—the emotion in the colors that overlap and blend into each other.”
Agostino Veroni, Modern Oil Painter from Tuscany
Agostino Veroni is a modern oil painter from Italy. He creates original artworks using textured painting, impasto technique, and expressive palette knife strokes. His floral scenes, Tuscan landscapes, beach views, and seascapes are rooted in plein air painting and modern impressionist art. Moreover, many of his paintings reflect the beauty of iconic places such as Positano, the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, Portofino, Florence, Venice, and Rome.
From Classical Foundations to Creative Freedom
Born in Livorno in 1963, Veroni discovered a passion for drawing and color early in life. At sixteen, he met Maestro Ferruccio Mataresi, which marked a turning point in his development. He studied classical drawing, yet quickly gravitated toward color and materials as tools of emotional expression. Under the guidance of Maestro Giulio da Vicchio, he refined his instinct as a colorist.
“With Master Masaniello Luschi I deepened this vision, starting to paint from life. That’s when everything changed—on the canvas, everything came together: the drawing, the light, the color caught en plein air.”
Developing a Distinct Style
Over time, Veroni focused entirely on plein air painting to capture nature’s essence. His bold, textured brushstrokes combine floral detail with vibrant impasto layers. Because of this style, his work conveys warmth, energy, and movement.
International Recognition and Exhibitions
Today, Veroni exhibits his paintings in major galleries throughout Europe and the United States. His seascapes, beach views, and floral works attract collectors for their rich texture and emotional depth.
“I paint without second thoughts, following instinct, color, and emotion. The painting evolves into a fusion of light, shadow, and texture—true, full-bodied, and alive.”
A Life Dedicated to Art
Agostino Veroni continues to live and work in Livorno, Tuscany. His expressive and one-of-a-kind oil paintings are featured in private collections and public exhibitions across the globe.
