“Art is knowledge made visible.” (Gustave Courbet)
RENZO MARASCA
"O artista é um fazedor de trabalhos inéditos num formato único e original, nunca visto em Portugal, fruto da sua investigação sobre o conceito da “transparência”. Pinturas de médio e grande formato sobre papel de arroz, usando a cera liquida e tintas ecoline o resultado são várias pinturas em tons claros e transparentes que potenciados pelo material do suporte se tornam objectos intemporais, catalisadores da luz e do seu reflexo."

The artist is deeply interested in the great philosophical issues that move the world.
Marasca experiments with painting and drawing by using unusual materials in his practice. As a former restorer who switched to painting, he traveled a lot around Europe, passing through Barcelona, London, Berlin, and finally opened his studio in Lisbon.
He participated in numerous artist residencies internationally such as Atelier LA54 Berlin, PIRAMIDÓN Centre D'Art Contemporani Barcelona, and AIR Funkhaus Berlin, among others.
His work can be found in different institutional collections, like the Italian Embassy in the Republic of San Marino and the Italian Art Museum, in Bengasi, Libya. He is also very well-represented in German, Brazilian, and Portuguese private collections.
