These artworks, expressions of a unique language, explore new compositional, chromatic, and spatial dimensions. Amadio uses monochromatic surfaces to create plays of light and shadow, giving his creations a three-dimensional appearance.

In 2011, Amadio received the prestigious Premio delle Arti Premio della Cultura as Artist of the Year at the Circolo della Stampa in Milan, an award presented by Prof. Carlo Franza, art historian and critic. This award confirmed his prominent role in the contemporary artistic scene.
Amadio has been able to combine aesthetics and content, creating artworks that capture the viewer's imagination. His artistic research is based on a continuous exploration of the limits of the canvas, transforming flat surfaces into three-dimensional structures. The monochrome extroflexed canvases, which characterize the artworks of Giuseppe Amadio, are the result of a deep reflection on matter and space. This type of visual language represents a meeting point between tradition and innovation, placing Giuseppe Amadio among the most important exponents of contemporary abstract art.
