CRITICAL REVIEWS
ATLANTE DELL'ARTE CONTEMPORANEA
Dir. Daniele Radini Tedeschi
"In a manner reminiscent of René Magritte, Asaro addresses issues of individual identity within communal existence [...] human emotions such as sadness, duality, and conflict with the Other are portrayed in their full intensity.
What Angelo Asaro reveals is a multifaceted investigation of contemporary society, offering both its most painful dimensions and, at the same time, moments of happiness—an emotion bound to the freedom of finding space for the pure soul that resides within each individual".
SALVO NUGNES
Art curator, Writer
"Asaro’s works delve into time, identity, and the human condition, leading the viewer on a journey suspended between reality and imagination.
With meticulous attention to detail and profound conceptual sensitivity, the artist constructs scenes that serve as metaphors for existence, prompting reflections of universal resonance".
Review of my award-winning painting
'Silent War'
JONATHAN HALE
Editor-in-Chief of FineArtsNews
"His oil paintings are not mere depictions; they are meticulously constructed worlds, rich with symbolic and surreal narratives that beckon the observer to delve deeper. Asaro’s work is a testament to the power of art to explore the complexities of identity and the contemporary human condition, skillfully weaving together reality, memory, and imagination into a tapestry of multi-layered interpretation".
ENRICO DE SANTIS
Photojournalist, Artist and Critic
"His painting draws inspiration from Surrealism, employing a simple visual language in the service of complex meanings. The symbols in the work do not conceal themselves; rather, they present themselves openly in order to reveal what cannot be seen: the unstoppable flow of moments".
GIOVANNI ZAMBITO
Editor-in-Chief of Fattitaliani.it
“A Sicilian painter with a deep and distinctive stylistic identity. His work is marked by a poetic fusion of everyday life and inner experience, rooted in introspection and a rejection of traditional artistic conventions. A silent, essential painting that seeks the soul of things".

"Asaro’s artistic style is an intricate blend of surrealism, symbolism, and conceptual art, where meticulous attention to detail reveals a deep engagement with philosophical themes.
His works often feature symbolic objects arranged in dreamlike settings, challenging viewers’ perceptions and inviting them to engage in a dialogue between illusion and reality".
SANDRO SERRADIFALCO
Art Critic and Editor
“Angelo Asaro, a conceptual and surrealist artist, blends analytical rigor with emotional tension. Drawing from his engineering background, he brings precision to his line work, intertwining it with symbolism rich in reflections on identity and perception. His works explore the boundary between reality and illusion, shaping a visionary and philosophical language with an international scope".
ZARI GALLERY
London
"Fragments of memory, time, and transformation unfold in Angelo Asaro’s Cycle of Life — a surreal meditation on the invisible weight we carry through existence. Through symbolic imagery and dreamlike composition, the work invites us to reflect on the tension between innocence and experience, hope and inevitability, freedom and fate.
An evocative piece where every detail becomes a mirror of the self".
"His art is a visual meditation on life, time, and the choices that shape us. Through layered symbolism, Angelo Asaro explores fragility, decision-making, memory, and inner balance—inviting us to reflect on what we carry, what we release, and how we choose to live each moment".
"'Ready-Made Thoughts' is a powerful piece that invites us to think about how easily we're influenced by the 'flavors' around us. Are your thoughts truly yours, or just a brew of society's ready-made ideas?".
