Auto-Portrait Print

Manuel Pablo Pace, artist based in Bassano, trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice and at the Sociology University of Trento. Contemporary portrait painter, develops his painting through a national and international path: Spain, the United States, Germany, Chile, France, England and Italy host his works. He has participated in international group shows and international art fairs such as Art Verona, Scope New York, Blooom Art Fair Cologne, Parallax Art Fair London. In 2008 he joined the artistic collective INFART in Bassano Del Grappa as artistic director and collaborates with Italian curators and art galleries. Described as "the optimistic portraitist" in "Excellent Painters - The diary of Italian living painting" (C. Langone), Pace focuses his artistic research on revisiting the classic theme of the portrait, vigorously investigating the relationship between the person and the landscape, between the subject and the territory, with an apparently "hyper-realistic" vein, which hides messages of profound aesthetic sensitivity. In 2017 it became part of the prestigious The Bank Contemporary Art Collection.
