Silent and vibrant, Italian artist Pol Petrino's works draw inspiration from mythological stories, impressions of landscapes, and the dance of the four elements. Earth, water, air, and fire were the first substances to emerge at the beginning of creation, and are at the core of his artistic investigation.
Deeply influenced by his main professor at the University of Mendrisio, internationally renowned architect Bijoy Jain, Pol Petrino's (1996) work transcends its mere aesthetic qualities to convey a profound reverence for humanity's coexistence with nature. It acts as a bridge between modernity and ancestral wisdom, embodying timeless messages that invite reflection on our role within life's complexities, fostering respect for the land as our first home, and our belonging to a greater whole. At the threshold of his career, his work has been presented in shows in Switzerland, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Indonesia.
