Pier Toffoletti
Painting works
With Pier Toffoletti we can speak of a painting that seems to come from an ancient fresco, executed on the bottom of a wall that has suffered the insult of time, and where by now the pictorial text has been partly lost, leaving open an indecipherable enigma. This artist's way of proceeding is partly mental and partly dreamlike. (Vittorio Sgarbi)
To start again from the certainties of the classical imaginary, from the reassuring gaze of a timeless face: this is the main goal of Pier Toffoletti, an artist whose creative process leads him to create works that are firmly rooted in our tradition and ready to withstand the constant upheavals of our age.
