Vincenzo Cohen (birth name Vincenzo Curcio) is a classically trained Italian artist dealing with nature painting and photography.  He was born in Zurich (Switzerland) and after spending his childhood in Calabria, he moved from South Italy to Rome. In 2002 he graduated in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts and in 2005 he held his first Solo Exhibition. In 2007 he received the master's degree in Archaeology from the "La Sapienza" University in Rome. His production ranges from figurative arts to writing and consists in reworking of life and travel experiences by exploring different social themes. As a polyhedric artist, his production is the result of a continuous process of historical-scientific research addressed to the representation of cultural and naturalistic content. Over the years his art has opened up to new experimental languages through an eclectic production with different media and styles. The artist has a great passion for nature that distinguishes him from birth and pushes him to engage in environmental awareness projects.

Epimetheus (2001) oil on canvas, 50x100.The work represents the thinker Epimetheus portrayed posing reflectively to indicate the introspective character. The swirling brushstrokes give freshness and airiness to the work and symbolize the thoughts that, escaping from the body, propagate in the surrounding atmosphere, forming spiral motifs and smoke circles, allusion of the prescient spirit and the innate wisdom of the titan.
