Toni Venzo

The artist is attentive to the language of nature and from this he derives a style that is light as a breath and solid as a trunk smoothed by time and genius. This journey into art began for him at an early age with his first exhibitions of him as early as the 1980s.

Realization for the Symposium of Predaia 2019:

The rhythm of the day’s activities stimulates thoughts and reflections within us.

In the night the flow of thoughts entertains us with a dynamic mental game: new ideas, different points of view, memories, questions, doubts intertwine.

But the stillness and slowness of nature’s breathing draws attention to itself and the game of thoughts, freeing itself, goes away.

Title of the work “Pensieri in Gioco”.
