Giacomo Matarazzo

Giacomo Matarazzo (b. 1979) is an Italian artist and engineer whose work thrives in the vibrant tension between structural rigor and the visceral instinct of painting. Rejecting mere realism, his visual research merges the study of classical anatomy with a contemporary, highly textured, and color-charged aesthetic.
Deeply rooted in his technical background, his creative process often begins with a meticulous geometric grid, which then evolves into organic, dynamic forms. Through the masterful use of acrylics and watercolors, Matarazzo deconstructs the human figure into intense blocks of color. His artworks explore movement, pressure, and release, blending the sculptural plasticity of black-and-white photography with a modern pop explosiveness.
In addition to founding Studio Giamata—a brand that translates his bold canvases into premium wearable art—Matarazzo regularly exhibits his emotional investigations. Recently, he was selected to visually interpret Karl Lagerfeld's intimate private archive at the "C'était bien" exhibition in Rome. His art is a continuous journey for those seeking structure within chaos and beauty within imperfection, ultimately transforming the deepest human emotions into powerful visual statements.
