Pier Toffoletti
Pier Toffoletti was born in 1957 in the province of Udine.
He has participated in over two hundred solo and group exhibitions, including in 2009 at Villa Farsetti in Santa Maria di Sala (VE). In 2008 he had a solo exhibition at the Correr Museum in Venice, at the Palazzo Senato in Milan and at OPEN XI on the Lido of Venice.
After completing his compulsory schooling, he enrolled at the State Institute of Art in Udine, where he began to study the classics and reworked some of Michelangelo's works in different techniques. The school allowed him to discover another great passion: photography. In 1976 he obtained a diploma in Applied Art, Advertising Graphics and Photography. During his school years, Pier approached oriental philosophies and especially Yoga, a discipline to which he dedicated himself, teaching Hata Yoga, for seven years. During this period he went twice to France where he was initiated into the first stages of spiritual elevation.
1994 was the year of the turning point. In Managua, Nicaragua, Pier meets a fellow countryman who was a former teacher at the Academy of Venice, who has moved there some time ago, and who creates gigantic murals of astonishing beauty. Pier understands and feels that the time has come to devote himself completely to painting. The choice is certainly not easy.
The painted figures, mostly female, become an integral part of the background with just a few brushstrokes. He reveals in an interview with the Japanese magazine "Art Pictorial" (November 2004) that the subject, the woman, is a pretext to represent the natural essence that is deep down in each of us. It is nature itself stripped of any prejudice or mask.
Engravings and graffiti have become a mysterious language of Pier's art. Lately he argues: "The media bombard us with images and writings, texts upon texts that now bounce off me because I have a simple mind and I can't sustain too many inputs, so I look at these texts, strip them of their meaning and find them interesting as textures, as images; And so I recycle them in my paintings, turning them into an art form."
