Bio 

Samuel Pugliese is a visual artist whose research explores the relationship between matter, body, and interiority through organic forms and corporeal tensions.

His work focuses on the body as a site of emotional and symbolic stratification, where anatomical elements are transformed into presences suspended between vulnerability and resistance. Through the use of materials and textures, his works develop a painterly dimension that approaches sculpture, creating dense and tactile surfaces.

He has exhibited in institutional and independent contexts, including Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome, as part of Rome Art Week.

In 2026 he was awarded First Prize in Painting at the Premio Nazionale Alberoandronico. In 2026, one of his works entered the permanent collection of the Museo Galleria del Premio Suzzara.
