In the panorama of contemporary art, Alessandro Casale’s vision stands out for its ability to merge the earthly dimension with a suspended and rarefied spirituality.

His angels, ethereal and almost dreamlike figures, are beings that transcend matter and manifest in color, becoming ‘radiant epiphanies’—images that blur and merge with his atmospheres, as if they were emanations of a cosmic breath.

“They are almost ethereal figures, seemingly taking shape in the air, light ‘ectoplasms’ of a heavenly breath that invite the viewer to immerse themselves in a deep, suspended silence full of meaning.”

Casale does not merely represent form; he reveals the very essence of an intimate and vibrant spirituality, which emerges through the colors and atmospheres of an ‘earthly imagination,’ as if the earth and the sky were merging into a single breath.


Each angel is both a fragile and powerful presence—a free and floating entity, a metaphor for an essential quest, a symbolic image that alludes to a ‘religious spirituality’ that seems to arise from a world beyond the visible.
