Biography
Pier Maurizio Greco was born in Modena, lives and works in Rome.
He graduated in History of Contemporary Art at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", with a thesis on Mario Schifano, the result of personal encounters with the artist in his Roman studio, and later obtained the qualification to teaching (competition class 61A).
From the end of the 1980s he used photography as a tool for investigation and research, starting from textural textures and details of random objects. A few years later he began to paint, followed painting courses, and investigated the expressive possibilities of acrylic painting, a technique that still constitutes his pictorial practice of choice.
The first works on canvas are characterized by a strong abstract matrix, attributable to an informal tonal and sign, in which ethnic suggestions and references to symbolic images sometimes emerge. Gradually, over time, a synthetic process takes shape, a condition in which the pictorial surface becomes a territory of contiguity between objective reality and abstraction.
He has written texts, articles, and presentations of exhibitions and is a Publicist since January 2011, registered with the Order of Journalists of Lazio.
