BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Italian painter Fabio Cuffari Dialley has made a remarkable entry into mural art with his latest project in Charvensod, Valle D’Aosta. Known for his deep engagement with the interplay of light and darkness, Cuffari’s mural “Buio” (Darkness) is a powerful metaphor for resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. This 16×3 meter mural, painted entirely by brush with acrylic colors, depicts a wayfarer illuminating a dark forest with a torch, symbolizing hope amidst adversity.
This mural is Cuffari’s first translation of a canvas painting into a large-scale mural. He collaborated with renowned street artist Fabio Petani, whose distinctive style and environmental themes have been widely celebrated here on BSA.
Cuffari’s work is deeply influenced by Flemish, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, with Caravaggio being a significant inspiration. His fascination with the interplay of light and darkness is evident in his powerful contrasts, evoking strong emotions and intricate narratives. His original painting “Buio,” which won first prize in the Southeastern Pastel Society’s international “Luminosity” competition, drew attention to his meticulous process and artistic dedication. Alongside his mural endeavors, Cuffari’s recent exhibition chronicled only three years of his creative evolution and a meteoric burst into the art world. Now, also the street art world.
