Dino Pasquero Biography
Dino Pasquero was born in Guarene in 1939 and spent his childhood in his father's tailor's shop. He then moved to Turin and in the mid-1970s he participated in the Brussels Biennial, established the Municipality of Guarene Painting Prize and founded the group "I tre" with the artists Ciocca and Pirotti. Furthermore, he directed the “Le Pleiadi” school of painting. In the 1980s he had his first contacts with the Swiss environment. He frequented artists of the caliber of Soffiantino, Casorati, Campagnoli, Tabusso, Fico, inaugurated the Galleria dell'Enoteca del Roero and founded the Art Gallery of which he became director. Pasquero's art is part of a modern school of landscape and can be considered one of the greatest exponents of the renewal of contemporary figurative painting. He influenced generations of artists and created one of the most exquisitely lyrical interpretations of natural reality and the human figure. His landscapes are able to evoke the enchantment of nature, which the artist studies and loves passionately until he manages to master its most intimate secrets. The ponds and woods veiled in silver mists, the rocky reliefs and centuries-old trees sculpted by light, and the vestiges of landscape architecture are masterfully captured, in their immediate flagrantness, in the sketches painted en plein air. Furthermore, with the same mastery, Pasquero transfigures them poetically in the compositions he creates in his studio, guided by emotions and memories.
