Gianni Borta's search for naturalism, a faithful relationship between man and nature, leads him to paint “en plein air” to make his images bring all the luxuriant vivaciousness of the gardens and wild flowers.
He is not only a widely exhibited painter but also a printmaker: his serigraphs feature especially thick applications of richly coloured inks as to resemble his original oils. He is also well known as a graphic designer and illustrator of books: his new monograph is entitled “Gianni Borta: Gesture, Nature, Action”, uniquely and delightfully illustrated with colour plates depicting the countryside, acrylic flower painting, mosaics, drawings and etchings.
