Enzo Martano was born in Calimera in the province of Lecce in 1965. His artistic journey began as a self-taught person in 1991, with the first creations of works inspired by the beautiful local landscapes where the charm of Salento nature surrounded by the sea and centuries-old olive trees guided his first steps of his art. Suffering from retinitis, Enzo is forced to stop to undergo various operations which allow him, after a few years, to resume his work with a completely new reworking of colours, shapes and techniques.

Enzo then begins a new artistic journey and many new works. Among these, human figures, often of an ethnic nature, recur in his repertoire. Figures that excite and arouse strong feelings, like dramas and their life stories.
