Pierre Calogero

Pierre Calogero is a French artist, self-taught, who has been practicing drawing and painting since the age of twenty. He began with a figurative period before adopting abstraction as his main mode of expression. He experimented with the most varied techniques and supports. He learned engraving and printing in the Paris studio of the painter Henri Goetz.

He manufactures his own colors based on pigments as well as his materials. His practice is based on several vectors: imprints, projections, embossing, collages. He mainly uses acrylic, sand, Indian ink.

His inspiration is based on a permanent need to paint and finds its sources in nature or in the photography that he also practices. It represents shapes. geometric or constructed or gestural projections based on breath and concentration.

His painting remains non-figurative, it is an invitation to an inner journey, it combines rigor and chance, real and imaginary, color and light spring up like a source. in permanent renewal and the expression of great freedom.
