Eugenio Molinari was born in Chiari (Brescia) in 1936. After his classical studies and the pharmaceutical degree, he particulary devotes himself to his professional activity and meanwhile becomes an amateur photographer.

At first, the photography is of sporadic interest to him, but gives him mnemonic help and sometimes documential approach to natural reality; then, as appears in the images collected in his many catalogues, the photography is transformed in expressive means: Molinari guesses that the photography can be an extraordinary instrument not only to document, but also to tell. Therefore it becomes his main object of attention, as personal expressive means.

Stressing his ties with painting, in his research Molinari uses the photography as a different watercolour or painbrush in order to express his own emotions, stories, dreams, ghosts and myths. The process of his maturity, which he completed during the decades of the Sixties and Seventies, leads to the first new photographs at the beginning of the eighties, years to which it is necessary to go back in order to follow completely his expressive development.
