Subsequently - around the Eighties - the brushstroke begins to relax more and more, perhaps synonymous with greater serenity and safety in the personal, and therefore professional, sphere, until it reaches abstract forms, those that today are identifying the style of Pizio. These brushstrokes are short, but do not interrupt the figures, continuity is guaranteed by the color.

We are at the end of the sixties and the beginning of the seventies when the style of the brushstroke begins to take on a more characteristic trait of the artist. The source of inspiration for his creativity - his valley and his origins - confirms a marked sensitivity on the part of Pizio-artist, who demands to weld this ancestral relationship through painting.įirst auditor at the Carrara Academy of Bergamo, under the guidance of Maestro Trento Longaretti, and then frequenter of the graphics course at the University of Venice, he pursues his investigations and research, reaching an artistic maturity which, however, will not yet be the definitive one. His favorite subjects, from which he will never detach himself, are elements and evocations of his own land, the beloved country that he has always celebrated and respected. The growing passion for art materializes with the first paintings and the first competitions in which Pizio takes part Finding the confirmations he had been looking for for some time, he decided to devote himself totally to the artistic world at the age of thirty, an age in which, moving to Bergamo, he was able to transform his passion into work. The first "sculptures" gradually give way to more serious and heartfelt experiments, experienced directly from the soul of Pizio-artist. This work initially translates into small inventions made with raw materials belonging to the primordial world of the native country, such as snow. Since childhood he has shown great creativity and a need to reveal himself through the work of his own hands.

Tomaso Pizio was born in Schilpario on September 17, 1932.
