Giuseppe Rumi is an Italian artist born in Palazzolo sull'Oglio in 1962. After graduating in painting from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts (Milan) in 1988, he specialized the following year as "Image Coordinator for commercial distribution", activating his work in the graphic-advertising field from 1988 to 1992.

Giuseppe Rumi's works stand out for the clear prevalence of grays and for the diversity of the materials used, such as tar, enamel, lead, iron, steel, ash, natural elements, acids and photographs, which alternate on the works creating "diagrams of thoughts translated into color codes".
