Pietro
Spica is a contemporary Italian surrealist artist. He was born
in the small Venetian town of Dolo in 1953. Spica has traveled
much in Central and South America, and his biomorphic forms take
inspiration from the pre-Columbian rainforest of his imagination.
The visual emotions displayed on Pietro Spica's canvases are rich
and engaging, and subject to change according to the viewer's
fancy. Pietro
Spica has dedicated over twenty years to the development of his
virtuoso watercolor technique. Here, friendly objects and beings
can be recognized, although they do not follow any of reality's
rules. Pietro has illustrated books for children, notably by Italo
Calvino, and Bruno Munari. For the past ten years he has held
seminars in watercolor technique, whose scope was to encourage
his student to give vent to their imaginations by learning how
to see rather than merely draw.
