Paolo Avanzi was born in Rosolina (Rovigo) in 1958 and graduated in Psychology. He landed to figurative arts after a diversified experience on several cultural disciplines (creative writing, music etc)His initial production is polymateric (use of plastics and enamels) and favors the informal. In 2004 he made his first solo exhibition in the Sandretto Museum in Pont Canavese. Since 2006 he has been moving towards an experimental figurative that is affected by these informal experiences.In 2007 he participated to the Miami International Art Fairs. New York and Seoul. In the following years he consolidated his experience in the major national art fairs. Among the countless solo shows we mention those at the Galleria Arte Capital in Brescia, the U. Mastroianni Museum in Marino, the Municipal Art Gallery of S. Michele Salentino, the Emmediarte Gallery in Milan and the Galleria Centro Arte Moderna in Pisa. His style is characterized by a process of fragmentation and deformation of the figure which is perceived as through a deforming mirror.
