Acrylic painting uses pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. It dries quickly, keeps strong color, and allows the artist to build transparent washes, sharp gestures, layered fields, or dense textured surfaces with great freedom.
Welcome
A look into the artistic universe of Marcello Castagna.
Marcello Castagna creates abstract paintings for Eterna Espressione, building each canvas through layers of color, tactile marks, and a recurring eye motif that gives the work a direct human presence.

Studio notes, process stories, and reflections around the Eterna Espressione collection.
Color does not describe what we see... It tells what we are. Color is an inspiration born from the deepest place. It arises from emotion... Color must be felt.
Oil painting uses pigment blended with drying oils, giving the artist time to soften transitions, enrich shadows, and create deep, expressive color. Its slow drying nature supports careful layering and emotional depth.
Impasto painting applies paint thickly so the brush, palette knife, and physical gesture remain visible. The raised surface catches light and turns color into texture, giving the artwork presence, energy, and movement.

Marcello Castagna
Italian chef by day, abstract painter by night.
About the Artist
Eterna Espressione is the art gallery of Marcello Castagna, an Italian chef whose creative life moves between cuisine and canvas. By day, he creates emotion through simple ingredients and shared experiences. When the kitchen quiets down, colors replace flavors, brushes replace utensils, and the canvas becomes a place where thoughts, emotions, and freedom take form.
The Collection
Each work tells a fragment of Marcello's inner world, inviting each viewer to rediscover something of themselves inside the painting.
