Pier Toffoletti
Painting works
Pier Toffoletti's paintings resemble ancient frescoes, executed on the surface of a wall that has suffered the ravages of time, where the pictorial text has been partially lost, leaving behind an indecipherable enigma. The artist's approach is partly mental and partly dreamlike. (Vittorio Sgarbi)
Starting afresh from the certainties of the classical imagination, from the reassuring gaze of a timeless face: this is the main objective of Pier Toffoletti, an artist whose creative process leads him to produce works with firm roots in our tradition, ready to withstand the constant upheavals of our age.
