Paolo PEDRONI

Paolo Pedroni was born in Brescia in 1983. His early works of art were created on the streets, including spray graffiti and street art on the walls of the suburbs of Brescia, while his canvas paintings are now exhibited and collected internationally.

Graduating from the European Institute of Design in 2005, despite working in the field of design, he never forgot his innate passion for painting and drawing, which has made him one of the leading Italian artists in the Pop Surrealism movement. Pedroni's characters are childlike figures, surrounded by childhood objects, colorful and soft, described with the most sophisticated painting technique. The artist challenges himself and his abilities, working on increasingly larger formats, resulting in a composition filled to the brim with images, an "horror vacui" inspired by Murakami's style. Pedroni executes this with a simultaneously hyper-realistic, sugary, and extremely elaborate and refined technique.
