PAOLO CONTIN has developed for over twenty-five years a personal artistic path in continual evolution. 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 held his first solo show in Padua. This is followed by numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad with presence in Copenhagen, Munich, Paris, Brussels, Istanbul, Buenos Aires and Sydney.

The artistic path of Paolo Contin is also documented by the presence in the Catalogue of "Arte Mondadori" with related valuations. Over the years his works have also been published in Arte Mondadori magazine and in numerous catalogs and volumes produced for solo shows and major Art Fairs, some of which were published with the support of the Italian Institute of Culture.

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.

A versatile and independent artist, Contin has built over the years a recognizable language, distant from belonging to a single school or tendency. His research traverses 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 overlaying of geometric elements, confirming a search that goes beyond the boundaries of painting alone.
His work today continues to evolve without preset formulas: every work arises from the will to preserve freedom, identity and expressive authenticity.
