Walter Girotto's Paintings

Italian artist Walter Girotto is a modern artist. born in Rovigo, a little town in northern Italy, in 1953. After a while, his family relocated to Turin, Italy, in an attempt to make their fortune. The only recollections he has of his hometown are of the weeping willow

branches in the little yard next to the house, two tin soldiers, and the drawing of a whale he did in kindergarten when he was four years

old, under the disbelieving eye of a nun. Walter Girotto was unaware at the time that her appraising look portended his success as a painter. Girotto participated in his first Art Expo in New York in 1985. Following this momentous debut, he sold every artwork he had in the first twenty minutes of the exhibition opening. In the few moments before the show closed, Walter Girotto apologized for the absence of additional pieces. Walter accepted an invitation to participate in the two closest Art Expos in New York after his debut proved to be so successful.

Girotto did, however, meet art representative Robert Bain in the beginning of 1987 as he was organizing a show at the Tamara Bain Gallery in Los Angeles. This was a logical progression of the shows in 1989 and 1990 given its success. Walter Girotto frequently faced audience opinion during his solo shows, which may be best described as "expressed support." He believes that she made him feel "... proud and believe in his strength even more" since she was thorough and true. demonstrated that I was surrounded by friendly spirits. My heart was filled with joy as I imagined how everything around me had changed, taking on new hues and forms".
