What if we let ourselves be carried away by color? What wonders are revealed in these shimmering reds? What summer evenings do you remember in front of these luminous yellows? These chromatic symphonies find their full meaning in the history of this artist with the secret name: INIS.

INIS. The acronym for Io Nato Ievoli Sono, i.e. "I was born in Iévoli" , a small village illuminated by the burning sun of southern Italy, where the painter was a shepherd during the first years of his life . From this childhood in the middle of the fields, the artist has preserved a fertile imagination, a sincerity towards the purity of colors and a love for the natural expanses which will never leave him, he who has set up his workshop in the Alpine setting of Maurienne. From a little shepherd of the Italian plains to a master of color, INIS's path through the green valleys of art is an endless quest. In his paintings, the beauty of existence is celebrated through a palette that is as intense as it is daring. The artist places color at the heart of his paintings, plunging us into a flamboyant intimate universe, like an artistic introspection. As the painter so aptly states, “painting takes a lifetime… You start one day, but you never finish” . Faced with the poetry of his paintings, we too hope that this colorful journey has no end. Through this exhibition, the Galerie de l'Europe reminds us that art is a universal language, a bridge between worlds, where everyone can find an echo of their own inner journey, well beyond words and images.
