Giovanni Motta is a contemporary artist who blends hyper-realistic painting and digital art in a Neo-Pop-surrealist language that is both profound and poetic. At the heart of his visual world is Jonny Boy, a cartoon-style character who embodies the inner child and leads viewers on an emotional journey through symbols, memories, and dreams. A key collaboration is the one with Bosa, for whom he created a series of decorative sculptures with a lively, colorful, and original character.
Giovanni Motta’s artistic exploration stems from a desire to delve into primary emotions—those rooted in childhood and imprinted on the subconscious. Through the practice of regressive meditation, he retrieves objects, atmospheres, and colors from the past, transforming them into works rich in narrative intensity. Jonny Boy thus becomes both medium and message: a bridge between the adult self and a forgotten sense of wonder. His works have been exhibited in museums and galleries such as La Permanente, Triennale Milano, and the CAFA Museum in Beijing.
