Since I was a child, I had the
experience of distinguishing letters and numbers by color because I had a
“synesthesia” that allowed me to feel the five senses at the same
time.
I also pursues me admiration for
the occult and spiritual world, triggered by me predictive ability and the
history of countless repetitions of synchronicity.
Since it school days, I has been
strongly attracted to album covers of Western rock music and Hollywood movie
posters, and their influence is the basis for me sense as a painter.
After that, due to the existence
of Leonardo da Vinci, I began to specialize in Renaissance culture.
I will express my view of the
world based on the three principles of “inquisitiveness, originality, and
internationality,” and based on the concept of Neo-Ism, it expresses the
intersection of four concepts: classic and modern, design and artistry.

In
2010, when I visited Ms. Yoko Ono(John Lennon’s
wife) of NY Dakota, I was advised to “painting the world of” Bushido
/ Samurai “that Japan is proud of in the world”, and it became a
trigger for the series “SAMURAI SPIRIT” start.
Including
a solo exhibition at “Former Japan Prime Minister’s memorial hall
Y.Hatoyama”, “French Embassy in Tokyo, Tokugawa Art Museum, Foreign
Correspondents Club in Japan, Consulate General’s Residence in NYC, OAG German
Cultural Center, NY WhiteBox, NY Ouchi Gallery, NY GSFP Church, The House of 1999
mural paint, Roppongi Hills mural painting”,
etc. 100 It has been exhibited more than once and continues to the present.
In
addition, at the 2022 exhibition, Settangeli’s first “Ministry of Foreign
Affairs” permission was obtained for the joint exhibition of the Embassy
of the Republic of San Marino and A.Settangeli.
In
particular, the SAMURAI SPIRIT work has received high praise, especially in NY,
and has been praised by royal aristocrats, ambassadors and celebrities around
the world, and owns the works.
In
2019, his nephew (8 years old), who was taught by Settangeli, was the youngest
in history and won the 69th “GAKUTEN Award grand prize”, which is the
most prestigious and historical in domestic student art. Since Settangeli was
the winner of the 34th GAKUTEN Award grand prize, the achievement of the double
crown in the family was the first feat in history.
In
addition, as a supplementary prize to the grand prize winner, the grand prize
work was exhibited at the “Paris Louvre Museum” as the youngest art
event exhibition in the history of the Louvre.
