• Marino Gianantonio in art Zago,was born in Trieste,north of Italy on 30/12/1949 and moved in Verona in 1957 where he still lives. Self taught, with a degree in graphics advertising, begins to paint in the early 70, partecipated to a few collective exhibitions and still less personnels. In 1996 he had one of his interesting exhibitions near Hofstra University in New York with about twenty of his works representing unpublished and interesting parts of Verona. From 1994, he abandoned the figurative and landscape painting for an informal and figurative abstract mosaic style. In love with colours, it dominates on the painting, but never in contrast among them. From 1999 Zago was also ventured with a digital-art, because of his innate and intrinsic imagination and artistic versatility. Currently spend's a lot of time for the creation of polimateric paintings composed by materials he recycle's or picks up from the streets. Cans, plastic pieces, telephone cards, corks and all things the consumer society turns into rubbish. Zago doesn't limit himself to only assemble paintings but enriches them artistically, using spry, acrylic, enamels and oils. All these paintings he made will preserve segments of history of our times to leave to the meditation of the future.
