Roger Sanna was born in Sardinia (Italy), but presently lives and works in London. In the 1990s he discovers his inclination as a painter, an activity which he cherishes and grows with vigour by making references to his inner world of childhood experiences and adult dreams. His artistic talent came to the fore when he joined an Art Studios in London. Here his creative approach developed with increased mastery and technical control. The most obvious credit to his paintings, apart from the accurate use of colour, is the subtle use of forms and media which typically hits the observer with a reference to what could be abstract, figurative and even surreal, the expressive means which are the base of his creative thought.

The themes in Sanna's paintings are rooted in his native Sardinia, in Italy and in his host country England. His most rooted, most ancestral emotions are strongly represented in his paintings, the instrument by which the author digs into the deepest recesses of his imagination and memory. They tell us, sometimes with calm passion, sometimes with great vigour, the stories that carry the observer to the inner psyche and to the dreams of the artist.
