TOURISTS IN VENICE Painting

I was born in Feltre in the province of Belluno (Italy); and I am currently based in San Dona di Piave in the province of Venice, Italy. My academic background took place in the city of Venice and was enriched under the directions of Giovanni Soccol, a well established Venetian painter, set designer and architect who has had a numerous important national and international exhibitions during his long artistic career. From master Giovanni Soccol I have learned the painting techniques of the great Italian Old Masters and the attention that must be paid to every aspect of the creation of a work: my oil paintings are carefully given to read glazes, I create colors by mixing pigments with linseed oil, before painting the final work in oil or acrylic on canvas. I make several studies in charcoal and pastels on paper. With another Venetian master Ludovico De Luigi, I have in particular approached the bronze sculpture. My favorite painting techniques are oil, acrylic, charcoal, pastels and fresco painting. I learned the fresco technique from the master Vico Calabrò and I am currently enrolled among the masters of his International School of fresco based in the Santuario dei Santi Vittore e Corona in Feltre, in the province of Belluno, Italy. My subjects are mainly related to the dreamlike and surreal world, where the current is transformed into visual metaphors in which coexist with a broader vision and eternal life. I participated in numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
