EXPRESSIVE OIL LANDSCAPE PAINTING COURSE
The Expressive Oil Landscape
The Milano Painting Academy is pleased to announce the opening of registrations for the new course dedicated to the Expressive Oil Landscape, led by artist Massimiliano Alioto.
Massimiliano Alioto is an internationally renowned Italian painter whose work focuses on the landscape as a symbolic, poetic, and mental space. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, he has exhibited since 1994 in prestigious venues in Italy and abroad, including the Venice Biennale, Palazzo Te in Mantua, Palazzo della Ragione in Milan, and Scope Art in New York. His works are part of major public and private collections, such as the Andersen Museum in Rome, the Benetton Foundation, and the Maimeri Foundation.
Under his guidance, students will approach landscape not as a mere imitation of reality, but as an inner and personal expression, in a journey through art history — from Turner to Böcklin, from Claude Lorrain to Dalí — up to the contemporary.

- Learn to create a fantastical figurative landscape: from sketch to oil on canvas
- Develop a personal and imaginative vision of the landscape
- Gain mastery of composition, light, and color
