Biography

Guido Corazziari was born July.11.1952 in Bari, Italy. The 70's were spent in Florence, where Guido's artistic journey reads like the classic story of a bohemian artist as he worked as a scenic photographer for ART/TAPES, an international art-video production center, where he interacted with the world's most innovative artists of the time.

In 1980 he graduated with a degree in Architecture and then in 1981 became a tenured professor at the Accademia di Belle Arti, specializing in courses on Special Graphic Techniques. In 1983 he won an EEC scholarship to the "Domus Academy" in Milano, where he earned a Master's degree in design, and was influenced by his experiences in the exhilarating world of fashion in Milano.

Then in 1984 he won first prize for Italy in the Lino & Moda contest and was invited to exhibit his works in Montecarlo. In 1987, thanks to another scholarship, Corazziari traveled to Paris, to attend the "Université de Marly Le Roi" where he obtained a diploma in Serigraphy. He now works as an architect and painter/multimedia artist. He has exhibited his works in numerous galleries and museums in Italy and abroad.

Artist Statement

“Sparkling” like a birthday cake, his artworks are instantly appreciated for their chromatic arrangements of sweet subjects combined with serious motifs. The pictures are grabbed by Internet, “surfing” on the Net. His artistic work is paying high attention to digital computing manipulations like warping, whirling, overlaying.

During his creative process Guido Corazziari shifts from the computer to brushes and the canvas.The result, captivating and original, is a mix of Abstract and Figurative Art, witch fits in Pop-Art style, but with a stronger charge of funny and a lot of conceptualism. To make it short these artworks could be called, using an english/french neologism, “trash chic”, this meaning smart-garbage but also “trés chic” signifing "very smart". ( by autor )

“A Legacy of Artistic Playfulness” For Corazziari, art is not just about creating beauty; it is about fun, experimentation, and bringing joy to others. His work has always been driven by a desire to make people smile, to invite them into a world where vibrant colors and provocative juxtapositions challenge conventional thinking.

This ethos can be traced back to his childhood influences, where comic book heroes and pop culture icons lived alongside fine art in his imagination. Over the years, his travels have further enriched his artistic perspective, with frequent visits to cultural capitals such as Paris, London, Rome, and New York. Despite his long career and extensive body of work, Corazziari remains humble in his approach to his own creations.

He often says that his favorite painting is always his most recent, reflecting a constant desire for improvement and innovation. The drive to experiment with new combinations of visual language, whether through digital tools or traditional techniques, keeps his work fresh and exciting. His use of acrylic paints, which he praises for their brightness and fast-drying qualities, gives his pieces a lively, dynamic quality that mirrors his vibrant outlook on life and art.

Guido Corazziari’s legacy as an artist is one of joyful experimentation and a refusal to be confined by any one medium or style. His work spans the analog and digital worlds, combining the lessons of the past with the possibilities of the future. Through his paintings, he continues to celebrate the beauty of life, inviting viewers to see the world through a lens that is both playful and profound. ( by Hajra Salinas_aatonau )
