Giuliano Gastaldi

Giuliano Gastaldi is an Italian artist active since 1982 and the founder of the Micro‑Macro artistic movement, a research project that redefines the relationship between artwork, ownership, and visual experience.

Micro‑Macro is based on a fundamental principle: the full experience of an artwork is separated from ownership of the original. The artwork is created in a Micro format and achieves its complete visual expression only through dimensional expansion. In this way, the original retains its value as a collectible object, while the Macro version makes the complete visual experience accessible to a wider audience.

Alongside the development of Micro‑Macro, Gastaldi has created several original artistic lines, including GOLD and Open, both dedicated to the exploration of form, space, and visual structure.

A central part of his artistic production is represented by Energy Code, a visual language dedicated to energy in all its forms. Through dynamic lines, invented structures, color fields, and directional movement, Energy Code seeks to generate a sense of vibration, intensity, and positive energy. Although abstract in appearance, every element is intentionally positioned to create balance, movement, and emotion...

Trained through direct study with professional artists; non‑academic artistic formation.

Earlier in my career I participated in small local and collective exhibitions. In recent years I have declined multiple invitations to international shows, as the intimate scale of my works and the conceptual nature of my current research are better suited to digital and large‑format presentation.
