Gianfranco Missiaja

Understanding contemporary art is not a simple matter.  However, we gain insight in observing the way in which Gianfranco Missiaja’s art work has evolved over his 50 years of artistic activity, starting with his early drawings and paintings, etching, lithography and silk-screen painting, and finally to his latest showings at the International Art Exhibits.

Schola S. Zaccaria uses every artistic technique handed down from the masters of the history of Italian art, such as pencil, ink, watercolour, lithography, silk screen printing and etching. Under the guidance of arch. Gianfranco Missiaja apart from his recognizable paintings one can also find exclusive frames in gold leaf by the artist. Also available are publishing items, sculptures, furniture and other articles of interior design. His exterior design can also be seen on the website. Everything he does is inspired by Venice and its culture, and most especially, its theatrical and scenographic tradition. Great importance is given to the study and execution of works featuring the Comedy of art and in particular to the artist's personal interpretation in building his graphic synthesis culminating in the abstractions of the characters.

His story, told faithfully and sincerely — starting with architectural planning and design — finishes with an account of his latest work in the literary field: several of his contemporary art appreciation texts are written to be understood by the ordinary public, not specialized in artworks, you could just say “layman”and to provide a key to the complex world of artistic expression in today’s art.
