Pietro Giordano
Artist Statement
My artwork explores the fusion between abstraction and realism. Layers of texture and colour depicting imaginary figurative images that speak to the landscape and urbanscape environments. Geometric shapes are connected by line and form and filled by various patterns, shades and tones creating a variety of patinated finishes. I enjoy creating and working with both painting and sculpture as they complement my passion for creative expression.
Bio
Melbourne based artist Pietro Giordano was born in Sicily and migrated to Australia as a child. Early life in Sicily was surrounded by an abundance of cultural history, antiquity and rugged landscapes that remain a strong inspiration in his creative life. After arriving in Australia, Pietro completed a Fine Art Degree at the School of Art, University of Tasmania. This helped develop a freedom of expression and harboured a very diverse and creative environment. Following his studies, Pietro established a studio and took part in individual and group exhibitions in Melbourne and Interstate. Currently, Pietro is involved with several exhibitions and private / public Commissions, involving both Sculpture and Painting.
