Stefano Bolcato Artist

About me

He started as a self-taught in the 80s, later he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts with Alfonso Avanessian and Giovanni Arcangeli at the Ornamental Arts School in Rome. Drawing, painting, photography and video are the expressive forms used for his work. Themes and subjects vary in the artistic proposal of Stefano Bolcato, the main part of his production is figurative painting. A research that moves between metaphysical atmospheres, social themes and particular attention to the value of the artistic and cultural heritage.
