Paolo Paleotti aka Giampaleotti was born in Rome in 1972 and since childhood has shown great talent and versatility towards creativity and art, inspired by his grandfather's sacred works.
His training is not academic but made up of the hard pragmatic school of work on the building site.
His youthful approach with building materials and recycled materials pushed him to express himself artistically, experimenting first with the different techniques of decoration, plastics, painting and finally with sculpture.
Having direct knowledge of materials, he felt the need to transform them as if his own soul and all his creative energies were pushing him to mould them.
From the material to the soul and from the soul to the material, Giampaleotti's spontaneous art has no need of preliminaries nor of captions or adjectives, useless prerogatives of purely academic redefinitions.
A narrative that places the attentive observer at the centre of a personal, theatrical and iconographic story.

The unashamed narrative of the artist's awakening conscience becomes collective and universal awareness through his works.
Giampaleotti is a free spirit, self-taught and approaches the recycled materials in his work without reverential, cultural or gender fears that would be detrimental to the representation of his artistic vision.
It is precisely a vision that we are dealing with, and therefore it is necessary to follow the path and discourse that Giampaleotti proposes, not necessarily chronological but evolutionary: from soul to material.
An artistic embodiment of the 'self' that takes shape with his sculptural works from 'Moment of a Dream' to 'Parable of Existence', through other fundamental works such as 'Good and Evil' and 'Barge of Existence', metaphysical transmutations that nonetheless affect reality such as 'Little Theatre of Existence' or a fundamental work such as 'Equilibrium and Unbalance', philosophical as 'Man Who You Are'.
Touching the chords of the soul, Giampaleotti invites us to enter into the true nature of matter, the profound and sacred one, a dichotomy that underlies the eternal dilemma between " Presence " " Absence " breaking that thin membrane that separates us from the Divine.
