Aika, alias Antonio Molinari, was born in the Republic of San Marino in 1967. Married, a son, citizenship of San Marino. The passion for painting has pushed me to attend a painting course, held from the painter Mario Massolo and now, approximately for over ten years, I irregularly paint together with Mario and other painters, with which in 1997 and 2004 we shared a collective exhibition in the library “Antonio Batarra”, Coriano in Rimini. Rather than to attend an art institute, I attended a book-keeping institute. This job maintains me and in the same time gives me the possibility to cultivate this my passion. To beautify what is around us. This though born in me as I think to the Art. As the primitives felt the necessity to color the cup in which they drank, or to decorate their own nozzle, or to paint on a wall what they shared in that day although the difficulties of their time.This is Art for me.To paint my feelings through symbols  that color a picture but that beautify t he mind, and sometimes, the walls. I guarantee  you that the world of Art is fascinating  not only for the pictures, but above all  for the persons and the experiences. This last year has given to me surprises and satisfactions, my first personal exhibition has given to me the possibility of the comparison  with  artists and with public and I believe  that to give to the others your own    feeling is magnificent.
