Bruno Martinazzi

Bio

Born in Turin in 1923, from a cultured family, aware early on of the cultural heritage of italianità, of its message and significance between references to Antiquity and modern commentary, filled with a curiosity for painting, music and reading, engaged as a young partisan against the fascist regime, a half-orphan on account of losing his father as a child and later his beloved sister – it was under these auspices that the course was set for a very special kind of creativity and ethical stance. His fields of creativity include relief, sculpture, jewellery, and written forms of expression.

Statement

I believe that my actions are searching for signs to be able to grow, to become more humane and free, to bear witness with art to man as the being that can wrest something from the panta rhei (flowing of everything, Heraclitus), from coming into being, something that cannot expire, something with which heaven becomes more buoyant.
