About Tollo Pozzi

 
 
  • Biography

    I have been painting since I was I child and when I rediscovered watercolour I fell madly in love with this medium! It is a way to make a kind of improvisation, where you have to let the water to make its way, let it go and don't be afraid of making mistakes. Watercolour is always surprising yourself by making you discover new ways to paint and new ideas: new mixes, nes granulations, new way the colors merge together directly on the paper. Working with water helps me to find the beauty around me and to find secret meanings in the ordinary, like an old house, a lonely boat on the shore or a busy street scene. Over the last two years I've been increasing my exposure participating in international art contests, in several exhibitions and local art fairs.
