Luigi Camarilla was born in Ortigia, Siracusa, in 1959.

He trained in Milan. He has worked as a set designer and has dedicated himself to different experiences that coincide with his eclectic vocation. An expressive restlessness that in 1996 matured in an all-encompassing artistic adventure. He retired for three years, isolated, hidden by the mythological sea of ​​Stromboli and from the lava woods of Etna.

There he began to work on the artistic project “Mediterranean Altars – Pilgrimage of love – from Passion to Consciousness” in which painting, sculpture and writing are intertwined. He uses the wood of the boats of fishermen and migrants, a favorite material for a work that oscillates between a feeling of origins and civil commitment. Over time, the search for him is increasingly characterized by an anthropological spirit. “Mediterranean: Spirituality, Myth, Present Time” is the title that collects his artistic production.
