Artist Nunzio Paci, born in Bologna but working in Italy, focuses on the “relationship between man and Nature” in order to “explore the infinite possibilities of life.” His work combines images of humans and nature to demonstrate this relationship. Many of his paintings use a mixture of brunsvart, gray, and white colors on canvas.
Anatomy of a winged (2013) – pencil, oil, bitumen on canvas
One of the paintings that first caught my attention was Anatomia di un alato (Anatomy of a winged), which combines representations of the human body with physical characteristics of a bird.

Nunzio Paci. False Memorie
With a series of new works, the solo exhibition "False Memorie", housed in the halls of the Casa Frabboni Museum in San Pietro in Casale, represents an important moment of study on the current artistic practice of Nunzio Paci (Bentivoglio, 1977). Paci, confronted with the fundamental scientific contribution of the anatomist Luigi Calori (San Pietro in Casale, 1807 - Bologna, 1896), continues his analysis of the body and its anatomical structure, exploring the correlation between the human component and the natural environment that surrounds it. " False Memories", curated by Monica Zaghi, provides an expanded perspective on the artist’s "anatomical" research, bringing together, in a single location, paintings, drawings and x-ray works, and constitutes the first of three exhibition acts that will see the works of Nunzio Paci participate in an exhibition widespread, in as many locations of the metropolitan city of Bologna, dedicated to the figure o

Statement
«My work emerges from the confluence of nature and the human form, where the boundaries between the organic and the spiritual dissolve. I delve into the essence of life’s perpetual metamorphosis, exploring themes of growth, decay, and regeneration. Rooted in the traditions of anatomical and botanical study, my practice intertwines art and science, crafting a visual language that is both poetic and introspective.
At the core of my research lies the body—human, animal, and vegetal—not as a static entity but as a site of transition and transformation. I am drawn to the tension between the fragility of life and its resilience, where decay is not an end but a beginning, a quiet passage into renewal. The intricate details of bones, muscles, roots, and petals become metaphors for the interconnectedness of all living forms, a reminder of the delicate balance that sustains existence.
My creative process is an act of weaving: anatomy with botany, realit
