Guido Pigozzi

Born in Tregnago (VR) in 1960, he has been practicing architecture since 1990. He is mainly involved in building restoration and art. In love with the Lessinia with its green hilly slopes, his first pictorial evidence relating to the early 1980s is a contemplation of the beloved landscape. Soon, however, he evolves from naïve naturalistic mimicry to the liberation of the image toward a more absolute imrnaginative figuration, created for itself and no longer subservient to a so-called “external” reality. From here on, the path will evolve more and more towards abstract subjects, while alongside monochrome paintings the themes dear to the author reappear periodically and constantly: the landscapes of Lessinia, the characteristic dove towers, the cement factory. A proclution that ranges from the figurative to the non-figurative and never tires of reinventing through the use of new techniques: watercolors, oil and bitumen are treated in the most varied ways, and the color is sometimes spread in veils that dissolve. Pigozzi's works have been exhibited throughout Europe since 2010.
