Piero Rasero, born in Torino in 1947, he is a realistic figurative landscapist who lives in Carmagnola (Torino), Italy.
He prefers oil painting, but also works with "thin oils" (an old technique from the beginning of the 20th century, where the colours are diluted with thinner paint in order to give an effect similar to watercolours), lithographs and serigraphs. Six of his paintings have also been printed into six posters and distributed internationally.
During his 40 years as an artist he has exhibited all over Italy, in Europe (Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Principality of Monaco, the United Kingdom), the U.S.A. and the Arab Emirates.
His work has been shown in numerous collections and museums all over the world, and in hundreds of publications. He has also been mentioned by critics and writers in newspapers, magazines and on television.
Art critic Sara Merlino writes, “Rasero’s picture is full of the Mediterranean. He useshot lights and dazzling sun full of colors on one part of his painting and leaves shadows on another to create aclean contrast. Rasero recounts every hidden and intimate secrets of nature, treating each bush, each leaf, each petal as a microcosm.
They are shreds of truth perhaps hide a thin and imperceptible melancholy”.
