THE ARTIST

His extensive experience in stage design explores the concept of empty spaces through vibrant colors. "The Empty Space" is an extraordinary shape, giving rise to the fullness of space itself. It exists everywhere, eternal and infinite. With a keen focus on these spaces, Pizzigoni discovered their true worth, granting them dimension and identity. The Empty Space stands as a profound subject of experience, in constant flux, permeating our reality. Furthermore, you will discern influences from characters inspired by his costume stage designs for opera houses. Pizzigoni employs a diverse artistic process, incorporating various techniques such as watercolor, pastels, charcoal, oil painting, collage, and sculpture. He contends that each technique offers a unique and original means of expressing artistic ideas. Drawing inspiration from this perspective, he emphasizes the significance of utilizing different artistic techniques within a single artwork. This approach parallels an orchestra where instruments harmonize, each contributing according to its distinct capabilities and inclination, ultimately enhancing the overall artistic theme.

"The theatre I worked for has always been for me a place of great experimentation and that has suggested many ideas to change reality through artistic creations. The empty space in which the actors move is a copy of the real world in which human beings move. Starting from this experience, what I’m most interested in doing is giving a form to the space in which we live, to his body that is empty but full of the possibilities of what can happen inside." - Pizzigoni
