Artistic Journey
Simone Piccioni's work emerges from the intersection of two worlds—the classical artistic heritage of Italy and the vibrant contemporary scene of Australia. This unique perspective creates a distinctive voice in the fine art landscape.
Born in Italy, Simone's early artistic development was shaped by the rich cultural tapestry of Renaissance masters and the enduring tradition of Italian craftsmanship. The influence of light and shadow in Caravaggio's work, the emotional depth of Romantic painters, and the meticulous attention to detail found in classical Italian art form the foundation of Simone's artistic vocabulary.
The journey to Australia marked a pivotal transformation in artistic expression. The vast landscapes, unique light quality, and cultural diversity of the Australian environment introduced new dimensions to the work. This cultural dialogue between two continents is evident in every piece, creating art that speaks to universal human experiences while maintaining deeply personal narratives.
Currently serving as Artist in Residence at Gallery Lane Cove, Simone continues to explore the boundaries between traditional techniques and contemporary expression. The studio at Greenwich Library provides a unique creative environment where community engagement and artistic practice intersect, fostering a dynamic approach to art-making.
