Biography
Paolo Buggiani’s work, whose artistic career spans over 60 years, can not be labeled under any category. He has been experimenting with a wide variety of mediums, ranging from paintings to fire sculptures to street performances. Independently from the medium, his work is permeated by a unique vitality and vibrant colors.
The artist writes "I could not conceive of art without experimentation. For this reason, I choose to live in modern cities as they are key hubs of communication. I also love watching the sea from a deserted beach, because the breeze and sound of waves have been unchanged for millions of years. I would like to be a plant to taste the soil; a fish to breathe water; a bird and not have vertigo. To be a saint and believe in heaven and hell; a witch doctor to believe in macumba. I like being in my studio with no phone, with perfect light, before a large canvas playing with colors, as if the canvas were a playground.
Tuscany is my land, and beyond the hills that form a curtain on the horizon, I know there is the sea. Mine are the natural colors of frescoes, and the ideograms that flower from the canvas, the synthesis of my language."
