Lorenzo
DI PIORA
Biography
Born 1984. Lives and works in Tecino, Switzerland.
Lorenzo di Piora works in a remote alpine settlement above the Leventina Valley, where the landscape is reduced to essentials: stone, wind, light, and long intervals of reflections.
Removed from urban art centres, his practice has developed privately, shaped by repetition, and a disciplined daily rhythm rather than by trends or external influence.
Trained first in traditional Venetian mask-making and later in painting and design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, he has developed a practice that merges painterly depth with sculptural presence.
Central to his work is an experimental technique involving mixed media of polymer pigments, resin and wax built up on thick aluminium panels.
Through layering, compression, and sculptural intervention, di Piora constructs surfaces that are at once painterly and architectural. His works function as both image and object: tactile, luminous, and materially charged.
