Artwork by Ernesto Ornati

Mixed media on canvas.

Ernesto Ornati was born in Vigevano and was educated by his father, Tenured Professor of the Accademia di Brera Art School. When he was 18, he enrolled in the scultpure lectures held by Francesco Messina at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan. In 1964, he started his production with Carlo Carrà featuring live molded scupltural portraits made of polychrome terracotta. His first exhibits date back to 1958, whereas his solo and collective exhibits became more frequent during the '60s and '70s.

By constantly practicing drawing and colors, he has recently reached a very personal synthesis between painting and sculpture, being this evident in his latest paint-sculptures.

The Cause

Micro Sol means Solidal Microcredit. We have created a fund to provide small interest-free loans for people who live in countries where the average income is particularly low: Burundi, Rwanda, Nicaragua. The microcredit is then used to found or expand a work reality like creating farms or spaces to host chickens and pigs, and buying seeds or equipment to grow rice, cereals or beans. People can also buy what they need to open a tailoring service, a little shop in isolated areas away from the cities, and many other ventures. The micocredits are usually from 20 to 800 euros per person/family, and they expire in 4 to 18 months. In the locations, our professional partners select the beneficiaries that monitor the microcredit and make sure that it's returned to the charity. At this point, we can either return the loan to the donor or loan the money to other people.
