Paolo Baretta was born in Milan on February 8th, 1961.
His attraction to all forms of artistic expression initially brought him to become active in the music field, which he left at age 30, dedicating himself exclusively to painting.
Starting 1992, he worked at the studio of Master Egidio Fusi, during which time he participated in a few painting awards.
The Nineties saw the dawn of a collaboration with William Congdon, the last great member of the New York-based “Action Painting” group, creating a friendship and work relationship that lasted until Congdon’s death in 1998.
Since then, Paolo’s path has brought him to recognize dignity in the simplest things, in picture composition, and ultimately in the evolution of man and artist, and his eternal search for truth.
