Luigi Sommacal is one of the most remarkable Italian artists of recent years and represented Italy. His works include painting, drawings and poetry.

His work is rooted in conceptual and processual practices typical of artists of the Sixties and Seventies but it also evolves into new directions. It always comes as the result of a long process of research into materials, processing techniques and their origin. 

"His interest in organic materials pushes him to create his own pigments and colors."

Sommacal has explored his creativity and artistic thrive since 1984 beginning in Costa Rica. He met the Spanish artist Fabio Herrera and became good friends. Fabio motivated him to create together and his first exhibition was a joint presentation at Galeria Marchena en San Jose, Costa Rica.
