"The Time of the Pomegranates": Summer slowly recedes but still holds its light. The green of the earth, the blue of the sky, and the ripe red of the pomegranates meet in the last heat of the season. A memory of September suspended between summer ending and autumn arriving.

PAOLO CONTIN has been developing his personal and ever-evolving artistic path for more than twenty-five years. Trained in design and active in the fashion world since 1980, he brings to painting a particular sensitivity to color, form, and compositional balance.

Since 1999 he has been presenting his works, and in 2002 he held his first solo exhibition in Padua. Followed by numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad with appearances in Copenhagen, Munich, Paris, Brussels, Istanbul, Buenos Aires and Sydney.

Paolo Contin’s artistic path is also documented by his presence in the Mondadori Art catalog with related quotations. Over the years his works have also been published in Arte Mondadori magazine and in numerous catalogs and volumes created for solo shows and major art fairs, some of which 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 Veneto artists and active until 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 crosses geometric abstraction, material and gestural painting, alternating rigor and expressive freedom. Lines, fields, geometric shapes and intense chromatic relationships become elements of a vocabulary through which he investigates balance, movement and emotion.

Experimentation also extends to sculpture and wood, with works built through the layering of geometric elements, confirming a pursuit that goes beyond painting alone.
His work continues to evolve today without pre-set formulas: every work arises from the will to preserve freedom, identity and expressive authenticity.
