Jean-Claude Atzori  

Jean-Claude Atzori was born in 1963, he is a French painter. Atzori has had a passion for drawing since his childhood, but worked as an engineer for ten years. However, he turned towards his initial passion and devotes himself to painting in his Parisian studio, through a procedure which is a struggle against "all work and no play".

Jean-Claude Astori experiments with the figurative style, but has put down roots in abstraction "I treat the canvas as a field or a stage where strokes, colors and forms play an important role. These are the actors which put up a show", explains the artist. He draws inspiration from these rigorous forms and lines, like one can notice in the minimalist current, especially through the supremacist dynamic of Malevitch. Studying Cézanne, Robert Delaunay, Robert Natkin and Maurice Estève has been key for Atzori's artistic path. However, he doesn't give special importance to geometry, as it's only the outline. The artist then provides the movement, which becomes inspires life into the painting. An almost spiritual dimension, which is a very important aspect for the painter.

Jean-Claude Atzori's work is regularly exhibited in France during personal and collective exhibitions.
