Giacomo Fierro - contemporary painter

Born in Naples in 1966, he has always lived in Rome.
The nephew of a painter, from an early age he has shown a natural gift for drawing which he has later developed only in technical drawing, with a degree in Architecture at Rome's Università La Sapienza.
After graduating, he has focused mainly on computer graphics. His work has often brought him in contact with artistic environments, collaborating with interior design, fashion, architecture and art publications.
Only over the last few years has he rediscovered the pleasure of freehand drawing through the teaching of Emilio Troncarelli and Lorella Cecchini, with whom he has further explored figure drawing and the use of colour.
In his paintings he often uses a palette knife and puts a major emphasis on colours. His works have been shown in solo and mixed exhibitions at various galleries in Italy and are part of several private collections across the country.

He will take part in the Triennale di Roma 2017, after having been selected among thousands of artists.
