Silvio Porzionato exhibits in our gallery since 2015.
Born in 1971, Italy.
Silvio Porzionato is a figurative painter who prefers oil paint on canvases. He takes photographs of friends and people he meets on the street. His figures are depicted in statuary close-up, although ordinary people; they have the power to make us forget the typical private dimension of the portrait and, at the same time, they have the power to become icons of the human race. Silvio graduated from art school, then he has been head designer for a decade in an important Italian company.
At the end he decided to start a new life in the silence of the countyside, closely with nature and art.
So he found his way: he has been noticed and he got many national awards.
Porzionato is a figurative painter who prefers oil paint and acrylic on large canvases, focusing mainly on the use of the color black and white and various shades of gray, telling painting in his personal reflections on the man and woman and, inevitably, the flow of time.
