Lies behind the artist certainly a long period of apprenticeship, as demonstrated: the dominance of technical, use color calibration, wisdom in steps tonal, the secure facility space and an ability to fund found in almost all his paintings.
Along the course of his career he held many solo exhibitions and participated in major Italian cities to the most important art exhibitions gaining national awards. Among these it is worth remembering: Prize City of Capannori, Prize City of Messina, City of Viareggio Prize, the 1st Biennial of Saint Leo, 1st Prize Vallechiara Pisa, Knights of the 3rd Competition Tau Altopascio, The 8th Competition Eternal City Rome and the 2nd Review of Art of Barbarasco Tresana, which allows us to see the interest of public criticism of the artist.

The main point of reference for the works of Antonio Sbrana is undoubtedly the Tuscan countryside, in which he lives and works, studying it with absolute rigor, to 
looking for a landscape that is able to be expressive. He builds his characters through the use of the wisdom, in line with the tradition of painting Fattori, and through natural and calibrated color combinations. Those applicants: landscapes, Marine e stills, investigated with great care by the artist, for which direct eye contact is essential and indispensable. Starting from the vision of the natural data, he creates evocative landscapes and atmospheres, places able to convey feelings of peace, concentration, almost suspended loads of the much sought expressiveness.
Leaving no doubt the lessons of the great Tuscan masters, in particular Macchiaioli, still detectable 
especially in its brushwork, He has developed an autonomous path and recognizable. The nature throughout his career remains the primary source of inspiration, the poetic charge. The continuous search for deeper dialogue with nature is in constant Sbrana, which always chooses secluded places, serene and poetic, driven by an inward movement, which leads him to grasp the multiple aspects, as the mutation of the effects of light in sudden weather changes. Through subjects essential, filled with that calm everyday, Sbrana is capable of transmitting all the power of nature, built up through rapid brushstrokes and delicate play of colors, in which use clean air and full of feeling.
