Artist Profile

Piero
Figura

Born in Brindisi and graduated in architecture in Rome.

Piero Figura began his career as a designer in Milan where he was also professor of scenography at the School of Architecture.

Painting is not only his first love, but the great passion that has always accompanied him together with design. Playing with materials, enhancing “poor” ones and creating a contrast with “precious” ones is a steady feature in the work of an artist who manages to mix classic and pop like few others. A unique style, just like his approach to art. Whether it is painting, photography or design, everything can be traced back to a creative moment, what changes is only the means through which creativity is expressed. Figura currently signs some collections for Gianni Seguso Murano glassworks and for Athena Peltri D’utore group, countless collaborations as a set designer with Giovanni Gastel.

His illustrations for Chanel, Dior, Vuitton and Guerlain are unforgettable. His creations and his art are distributed in galleries and shops all over the world, he still collaborates with well-known magazines, including Vanity Fair, Glamor, AD, Vogue etc. Countless exhibitions of him in Italy and abroad.
