Fabio Sanzogni

Italian-born Fabio Sanzogni first came to the United States in 1992 to continue a career as a fine art painter, sculptor, designer and muralist.  In San Francisco and the greater Bay Area, you can find his works in the form of paintings and murals exhibited in cafes, restaurants and galleries.

Since the age of six, Fabio was exposed to the life of theater where he gained his first concept of visual art.  He created his first theatrical set design for a military officer’s gala in Pisa, Italy.  Eventually, his abilities in the field would garner him many awards.

Under the direction of master artists and set designers, such as Gianni Polidori, Elio Sanzogni, Emanuale Luzzati and many others, Mr. Sanzogni mastered his craft and established a set designing company in Northern Italy that in less than five years created sets form more than 120 projects.  These included shows and sets for the RAI, the Italian TV network, a touring exhibit for the biggest comics publishers in Italy, as well as operas, ballets, operettas, comedia deli arte and musicals for the major theaters in Italy as well as theaters in Valencia Spain, Marseille, France and Israel.

Through Fabio’s works you can find and read the modern society in evolution and moreover discover a postulated society of the future.  He uses Renaissance colors that express both his emotions and experiences born out of his life in Italy and transitions into his life in the U.S.  The perfection of limes in his pieces is subordinated to the emphasis on the energy or wavelength that is perhaps indigenous to the color within the scheme of the piece.  He believes that knowledge of technique, an understanding of mankind and what is behind our desire to create and a study of our many customs and ideas, can give the artist the means for contributing to the progression and evolution of art.  His works are embedded with the philosophy that art is a civilization’s posterity and the only real means to securing a place in history.
