Matteo Nannini is an Italian artist born in 1979 in Bologna who lives and works in Cento, Ferrara, Italy. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. Painter by profession since 1997, he has taught drawing and painting in local schools in Emilia-Romagna since 1998. He has exhibited in various personal, collective, event and art fairs in cities such as: Bologna, Florence, Parma, Piacenza, Milan, Budapest, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Shanghai or London. His works belong to many public and private collections in Italy, England, France, Spain, Holland, Hungary, United States and Australia. His favorite means of expression is oil painting achieved on any support. Characterized by a full-bodied and curious, sometimes intimate painting, Matteo does not renounce to surrealist and metaphysical situations less or more explicit. Since 2012, he has been involved in comics and illustration. In spring 2015, he published a first adventure of Detective Wiland (JWWiland), a comic character entirely created by him (subject, stories, dialogues and drawings). In 2016, he founded Nannini Editore: editorial market and online portal relating to Fumetto and author's Grafica. The same year, he opened a course to start comics at the SAA in Cento. He also collaborates with others numerous newspapers and publishers in Italy.
