AL FRENO
Biography
After completing his training at the École des Beaux-Arts, Al Freno embarked on a progressive and demanding artistic career. While pursuing various professional activities outside the artistic field, he maintained a constant connection with painting, which he practised as a space for personal research, experimentation and freedom.
During these years, his pictorial work developed away from the constraints of production and distribution. Nurtured by his training in architecture, his painting focused on the construction of space, the balance of compositions and clarity of vision, gradually giving rise to a personal, structured and intuitive language, free from the effects of fashion and the immediate expectations of the market.
This period of maturation, which was essential to her career, now gives her work a unique depth and coherence. It bears witness to an artistic journey built with rigour, shaped as much by practice as by experience of reality.
In 2019, Al Freno decided to fully embrace his vocation and embarked on a professional artistic career. This turning point marked a decisive acceleration: his work quickly gained recognition on the contemporary art scene, with regular appearances at international fairs, galleries and major exhibitions. Since 2024, he has been an exclusive artist at Galeries Bartoux, confirming his position in the international contemporary art market. Although recently part of a sustained professional distribution, his work is distinguished by a maturity that comes from a deep personal and creative journey. Today, his paintings appeal to collectors who appreciate a constructed work, inhabited and driven by an authentic artistic vision.
