Giuseppe Salvatore Barilaro has always felt a vocation for art, and has therefore followed a course of studies that led him to a degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Catanzaro. He currently teaches at the Canova Art School in Vicenza, has won numerous awards and exhibits in galleries all over the world, from Iran via China to New York. In his works, he manipulates pure, ductile and transient materials, and it is wood in particular that provides the basis and inspiration for his creations. His motto is: ‘Every mistake can become the perfect brushstroke’.
