Italian born, Carlo Marchiori studied classic art and academic design in Padua and Venice. At the age of eighteen, he left Italy to live in Canada where he worked as illustrator and film animator for C.B.C. Television and the National Film Board of Canada. In 1967 he was nominated for an Academy Award for an animated short but eventually abandoned filmmaking and advertising for mural paintings.
Since 1978 he has lived and worked in California. With the advantage of his traditional heritage and classic art education he can offer the closest interpretation to Renaissance, Baroque and Neo-classic styles of painting. His interpretations go beyond the formula as he injects soul, whimsy, freshness and spontaneity into academic technique. His work is alive, designed to suit even the most modern environments in new buildings or structures, as the old he evokes harmonizes with the hard edge of the new. In complex compositions, he gives attention to historic reference, as he "fades" the subject back into the time past, "hazing" it to fit into depth and atmosphere. less
