He graduated from IED, Istituto Design Milano, specialising in product design. He then specialised in painting. His work stems from research into narrative and figurative representation.
His early works present a mix of local tradition, crime and grotesque narrative, with a strong cinematic influence.
In Bruno Marrapodi's most recent work, there is a radical synthesis of descriptive elements. Certain iconographic elements, such as castles and pigs, become central axes of the paintings, archetypes of an instinctive, fairy-tale world. The works now appear primitive, delicate and wild at the same time.
"I paint the same way I talk: I tell stories, I use anecdotes and symbolic figures, I fill the story with colours and details, with a bit of irony. The images that emerge from my painting define my existence, but do not describe it. The world is a hostile place, so I look at it from the outside: my painting is an observation, a way of responding to the hostility of the world without entering into it".
