Sandro Nocentini

Sandro Nocentini (born 1966) is an Italian artist, living and working in Australia. He is a figurative painter, whose work has been described as "cubist-futurist".

He arrived in Australia in 1993, and graduated with a degree in Fine Arts at the National Art School. The new environment of Australia had a significant effect on his work. The work was exhibited at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. The inspiration for it came from the artist's "assisting two friends to conceive a child"; Nocentini has shown himself as a harlequin, a reference to Picasso, whose influence is apparent in the work.

In 2006, he was one of the contributing artists to the fund-raising Changing Nature 06 Greenpeace exhibition and auction in Sydney.

His painting of Princess Diana was included in the book, Diana in Art, compiled by Mern Mehmet (Pop Art Books).

He describes his style as "cubist-futurist" and said of his work:

Art Critic Simonne Jameson said about Nocentini, "Even a brief sampling can suggest the quality, at once poetic, rationale of Nocentini's mind."

In 2016 Nocentini published the digital version of three books for children he wrote and illustrated: The Dog With No Name, and other short tails, The Broken Mirror, and other short stories and The Christmas we Forgot.

Nocentini lives in Sydney, with his partner Interior Designer James Treble and their two children.
