Luigi Gardenal was born in Mestre in 1950, the city where he still resides. In the forty years of his career he focused on multiple activities including painting, engraving, graphics and urban design. He also designed environmental installations and multimedia performances and created artistic events related to different disciplines with different languages. In each work, the protagonist are colours that the artist cleverly adapts to collages, engravings on canvas and PVC, bandages, metal plates and papers with exotic origins. Color is used as a means to cross history and make a journey through the sedimentations of human civilization.
