Meet the Turin artist telling the darkest tales in Venice

Growing up in 1990s Turin, Guglielmo Castelli was often left alone with books and drawing materials while his parents were at work. Sometimes he would draw images that were sparked by the story he was reading; other times he drew directly onto the pages of the book, often disrupting or changing the narrative. “My mother always told me that to be free you have to read other people’s stories; that you need to understand the garden outside your own walls,” he says.

Having studied theatre and set design before he turned to painting, Castelli is now experimenting with work that crosses both disciplines. A mix of Baroque music and Bellini is playing in the background as he makes an espresso in the small kitchen. He could inhabit another era dressed in tailored trousers, a Japanese collared wool sweater and black Guidi dress boots.
