Sandro PERELLI was born in Jesi in 1954, he graduated as a master of art at the state institute of art in Rome which today takes the name “Enzo Rossi,” with the teaching of already established artists such as Carlo Lorenzetti, Giuseppe Uncini and Ranocchi beyond the supervision of Enzo Rossi himself, distinguished director.
Artist by vocation he immediately began to perform as a painter and jazz saxophonist. He studies music with the American courses of Umbria Jazz and private jazz schools in the capital.

I have found particular appreciation for my visual arts production also on the occasion of Jazz concerts enriched by special projections of my creations. My work is stimulated by the great energy that jazz transmits. My works elaborate and capture these emotions in the salient moments and in the musicians represented. The proposed exhibition with Jazz performance makes my intention to combine image and music at the same time. You can see an evolution in my pictorial work starting from a single sinuous sign that composes the image with the intervention of a straight line intentionally inserted to destabilize a visible balance. This is followed by portraits repeated in sequence with the intervention of bright colors that increase the color contrasts in order to highlight the message relating to the strength of the musicians and jazz music. Representations with other materials are added in the research …
