Paolo Troilo

Italy, 1972

Paolo Troilo was born in Taranto.

He attends the Art Institute and then the European Institute of Design in Rome, passing by five years at the Florence University.

In 1993 starts to work as assistant art director at the agency “Alta” in Florence. In 1997 joins Saatchi&Saatchi in Milan where he remains 6 years becoming Senior Art Director.

He paints since he was six, always with his hands, using acrylics stretched on canvasses with his fingers.

His early exhibitions are only in 2006, when he decides to stand up his works.

He took part to Miart, Art Verona and to many group and solo exhibitions.

“Paolo Troilo’s artistic expression characterizes for the originality of the formal procedure. His working instruments are not brushes or palettes, but only his hands: one spreads colors, unfolding at the same time his five fingers, the other holds the mobile phone, which reports the picture of him as the model.”
