Giacomo Mazzari

Giacomo Mazzari was born in Agazzano (Piacenza) Italy in 1941 and lives and works in Rivergaro ( PC).

An architect by trade, he began to paint in 1970.

His teacheres were the “impressionists” and “macchiaioli” painters from whom he was initially inspired even copying them and then continued independently until he arrived at a completely personal form of expression. 

Usually when he paints he prefers to listen to classical music: Beethoven, Vivaldi, Verdi 

“ The morphology and definition of space suggested by the environment and the landscape both natural and contaminated by man have always activated, as architect and painter, my attention; the observation of the natural connotations of breath, light and rhythm of things stimulates me to search for the beauty contained in them and becomes the spark to transfer them on the canvas. What mostly interests me is trying to create an atmosphere and arouse, if at all, an emotion, leaving the spectator the last word.” (G. Mazzari)
