Massimo Meda was born in Virmercate, Italy in 1959. He is an accomplished painter-even developing his own type of paint- as well as a professor of music. Meda has a certain philosophy toward art: Synaesthesia. Synaesthesia is the art of translating feelings and emotions from one artistic language into another. Meda has spent a lifetime contemplating this idea. The result is a totally new medium that combines painting and sculpture into one: a sculpture on a canvas. Meda’s exciting and vibrant subjects pull an audience in with his endless rolling tulip fields under indigo skies and race cars that vibrate the canvas with dramatic color and speed.

The amount of time each of Meda’s works takes to complete largely limits their availability. For this reason, his paintings are found in very few galleries world- wide; however, they are so unique they have managed to find collectors around the globe. His paintings have sold to collectors in Italy and adjoining European nations as well as Japan and America.

Meda describes his artistic goal as being able to share with his audience the emotions he felt while he was painting. “This is the goal I devote all of my energy to. My great love for the two forms of art and my optimism, which helps me find beauty in every single thing, are the reasons for my boundless imagination and creativity. I only make what I feel like making, and create what I am attracted to; I try to materialize my feelings on the canvas, through my colors. This Synaesthesia is the source of all my works, which originate from an emotion and turns alive under the public’s eye.”

This technique not only combines texture and dimension, but when viewed under special lighting, Meda’s paintings change dramatically and actually illuminate. This special paint that causes the lighting effects and allows Meda to use it to sculpt is a secret formula known only to him. Some of the paint stands up to three inches thick off parts of his canvas. The paint actually takes on the shape of the object that it is an image of, therefore becoming a sculpture. This dualism of mediums and light changing effects simply puts Meda in a genre of his own, one we can call Synthaethesia.
