The painting will be shipped rolled inside a sturdy cardboard tube. Shipping to countries outside the European Community is not accepted due to high costs. "Where Light Is Born": Light is born slowly, it passes through color and opens an unexpected space. Red keeps the warmth of night while greens and blues announce something new. Thin lines cross this landscape without place or time, like distant traces. It is the suspended moment in which darkness recedes and the day has not yet begun. PAOLO CONTIN has been developing a personal, ever-evolving artistic path for over twenty-five years. Trained in design and active since 1980 in the fashion world, he transfers to painting a particular sensitivity to color, form, and compositional balance. Since 1999 he has exhibited his works, and in 2002 he held his first solo show in Padua. This was followed by numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad, with presence in Copenhagen, Munich, Paris, Brussels, Istanbul, Buenos Aires and Sydney. Paolo Contin’s artistic journey is also documented by his inclusion in the Mondadori Art Catalog with corresponding valuations. Over the years his works have also been published in Arte Mondadori magazine and in numerous catalogs and volumes produced for solo exhibitions and major art fairs, some of which were published with the support of the Italian Cultural Institute. He was also among the founding members of "Tostart", an artistic association born from the meeting of ten Venetian artists and active up to the Pandemic period. An eclectic and independent artist, Contin has built over the years a recognizable language, distant from belonging to a single school or trend. His research traverses geometric abstraction, material and gestural painting, alternating rigor and expressive freedom. Lines, areas, geometric shapes, and intense chromatic relationships become elements of a vocabulary through which he investigates balance, movement, and emotion. Experimentation extends to sculpture and wood as well, with works built through the layering of geometric elements, confirming a search that goes beyond the confines of painting alone. His work continues to evolve today without predefined formulas: every piece is born from a desire to preserve freedom, identity, and expressive authenticity.
