Giovanni
Pasqual

I am a restorer and a painter. Ever since I was a child I used to spend my time in artisanal laboratories experiencing the smell and the touch of traditional matters as plaster, casein, lime, linen oil, sands. I am inspired by Nature, Venice, the Lagoon and the rural landscapes surrounding me. My artpieces are not always driven by a precise intention, I love playing with matters and colors and observing the dynamic relation among materials. I experiment new techniques with unprejudiced freedom to explore, to silence, to listening to the noises coming from my brush. My pieces reveal themselves during their creation, as in a huge puzzle. A sort of alchemy that becomes experience and magic for the spectator. I look for the right place for a color and then, layer by layer, the matter explodes and reveals itself. I wish to offer my world and bring people into my journey with authenticity and reassurance. My artpieces are not intended to shock nor to provoke but to evoke and to reassure with beauty. I believe that Art is a key factor to face this hystorical moment, we need it and we deserve it.
