Pier Toffoletti<br />
Pier was born in 1957 in the village of Torreano near Cividale in Northern Italy, surrounded<br />
by the art and antiquities of ancient Rome. Now he lives and works in Udine. Since he was<br />
a young boy, painting has been a passion and he drew inspiration from the tiles and frescos<br />
which were a part of his daily life.<br />
In 1976 Pier earned a “Diploma di Maestro in Arte Applicata” (Certificate of Master in Applied<br />
Arts). While developing his unique medium and style he worked as Creative Director<br />
for his advertising agency, using his talented eye for developing and directing television commercials.<br />
Pier also worked with the Italian public broadcasting network (RAI) on a number of<br />
animation projects.<br />
Pier developed a passion for speleology (exploring caves), and while pursuing this interest he<br />
traveled to some wild regions in Central and South America between 1992 and 1995. His experiences<br />
in these environs created a deep change in his view towards life. It was in 1995 that<br />
Pier decided it was time to devote his full time and considerable talents to painting.<br />
Pier?s work can now be seen in galleries and publications throughout Europe and Asia. His<br />
North American debut at the Galleria di Sorrento in Las Vegas has been eagerly anticipated<br />
by collectors who have seen his art in Japanese and Parisian galleries where he is avidly collected.<br />
In 1997, Pier was nominated to become a member of the “World Council Of Arts” and<br />
that same year his work was featured on the cover of the prestigious Japanese publication “Art<br />
Pictorial”.<br />
