Giorgio Mizzi
(1940 - 2008)
Giorgio Mizzi was born on April 13th in Milano, Italy.
Due to his artistic talent that showed already in his early childhood, he was accepted to the Scuola Superiore d'Arte im Castello Sforzesco in Milano at the age of 14. He experimented during the five years course with different media and found his favourite expression in working with aquarelles.
He gained his first professional experience in a Milanese studio, where large sized film posters were produced. Later Giorgio Mizzi worked for many international Advertising agencies and thus gave a special personal touch to numerous advertising campaigns.
In 1983 he moved with his family to Buxtehude in northern Germany, where he continued to work as freelance artist for the advertising industry. On the search for new forms of expression he produced paintings, often in large sizes, in order to give shape to his inner unrest that was always perceptible.
In January 2008 he died unexpectedly of heart failure.
At present some of his art work is shown in the travelling exhibition 'Pittori Italiani della Bassa Sassonia'.
