I had never heard of this artist before. I find his work vibrant, colorful and it has an innate quality to intrigue. Some of his paintings mean different things to me everytime i look at them. It is a pity that he died quite young as it seems that he could have presented the world with many ideas as he was quite versatile. He started of as a sign painter and moved through different styles finally becoming an sculptor. Just as Piccaso changed his media and style so many times we could expect the same from Umberto.
