Luca Dal Vignale (b. 1992, La Spezia, Italy) is an Italian painter whose work balances bold abstraction with a deep material sensitivity.
After studying at the Academy of Carrara, Luca moved to Brussels, where he earned a double master’s degree in painting and tapestry. There, his practice began to shift beyond traditional canvas, incorporating textiles, collage, sewing, draping, and stretched fabric to explore new spatial possibilities. Later, in Antwerp, he expanded this vocabulary further through performative, sculptural, and installation-based works, experimenting with how space, body, and material interact.
Yet painting remained a constant pull. Returning to it with renewed urgency, Luca now approaches the medium as a direct dialogue with matter itself. His large-scale works are charged with bold colours, textured surfaces, and raw gestures, capturing unconscious impulses that pulse with energy. Guided by intuition, his compositions mirror the unstable nature of memory, how recollections blur, shift, and distort over time.
Luca’s paintings balance raw, material energy with the shifting impressions of memory and lived experience.
Luca has participated at group and solo expos between Antwerp and Brussels, at Extracity (2022), ZeitGallery (2023) and 12Gallery (2025).
Luca Dal Vignale first discovered his passion for art at 18 in the atelier of a painter in La Spezia, Italy. While studying at the Academy of Carrara, his early practice was shaped by expressionist painting. Later, in Brussels, he pursued a double master’s degree in painting and tapestry, where his work developed into a more physical and material approach. Moving beyond traditional painting, he began experimenting with textiles, collaging, sewing, draping, and stretching fabric into spatial compositions. His time in Antwerp expanded this exploration further, as he incorporated performative, sculptural, and installation-based elements into his practice. Yet a strong sense of nostalgia eventually drew him back to painting, the medium he continues to find most expressive and liberating.
