A native of the Veneto region, Gianni Visentin, borned in 1938 trained as a painter before turning to sculpture. Over the course of a long and flourishing career he has become a master of that medium, bringing to every work a glimmer of humanity that form deep within.

Every sculpture is suffused with light. Visentin lived in France from the mid 1960s until the late 1970s, and here be came into contact with the country post avant-garde artistic and cultural milieus. It was while staying in Paris that his latent passion for sculpture surfaced, and began to take precedence over his painting. Yet despite changing his medium.

Visentin remained faithful to his subject matter, continuing to dwell on such themes as environment protection and the recuperation with love, good and evil, the restive modern spirit and metaphysical thought he expresses anger at assaults on the environment, hand won peace and the pursuit of solidarity, freedom and reconciliation.

These topics provide an endless reservori, the core of his being from which he draws his creativity and new fables. pelling away the rugged surface, he penetrates the human dimension, probing the hidden depths of each one of us. Visentin's works are powerfully expressive, captivating the onlooker with their pure form and an ethereal quality that sets them on a spiritual plane.

The sculptor has experimented at lenght with different materials, resulting in original works based on rare metals and sundry oxides.

Visentin's sculpture has been exhibited in numerous cities on every continent. His works appear in the world's greatest museum and have be presented to many notable personages, including Pope John Paul II, Reagan, Bush, Saddam Hussein and Gorbaciov.
