Ilario Fratini

Ilario Fratini was born in 1947 in Marsciano.

He has exhibited in numerous painting shows obtaining promising results which have inspired him on to follow his own personal figurative experiments. His association with major Umbrian and Tuscan artists has not only refined his technical skills, using acrylic paint applied with a palette knife and spatula, but has also inspired him to abandon his figurative representation for a more essential vision. His rapid palette knife pares down the landscapes to their essence without ever completely losing their panoramic structure.

He has won numerous first prizes in competitions in Montepulciano, Cortona, Poppi, Spoleto, Talla Bastia,Assisi and many other cities.
