My name is Floriano Guizzardi, I' m Italian but actually I live in Chile. I've traveled a lot in my life, working as a fencing coach. I had the chances to know the different cultures of south America and East Asia, such as Philippines and Japan, in which I could find some interest for my work.

I' ve studied literature in the University of Padua.
Autodidact painter. I had the chance to frequent many quoted painters that showed me some different technics and different point of view in considering painting.

I' m in the collections of some private collectors in Japan, Philippines, Brasil, Chile and Mexico.
