My Bio

Giovanni Scifo is a realist figurative painter and illustrator, born in Agrigento in 1978. He began his studies at the Faculty of Architecture in Palermo and in 1999 he won a scholarship and moved to New York where he graduated in Visual Arts at the “NYFA”. From 2001 to 2007 he lives in Rome where he works at “Panorama Films” as a storyboard artist and concept artist in various mainstream film productions. In 2007 he was appointed delegate in charge of "Cisl Arte" for the province of Agrigento. In 2014, together with other artists, he founded the “Artificio” studio in Agrigento. In 2015 he followed classical painting studies in Amsterdam and the prestigious Dutch art magazine "Palet" dedicated an article on his work. In 2016 he perfected his knowledge in the field of classical pictorial disciplines and in the drawing of the figure and portrait at the "Russian Academy of Art" in Florence, studying with some of the most important drawing teachers of the Imperial "Repin" Academy in St. Petersburg. . He has created several pictorial works for prestigious clients and institutional bodies, some of these: "The Seven Works of Mercy", for the Caritas Diocesana of Agrigento (inaugurated on the occasion of the 2015 Jubilee), and the painting "The Night of Sigonella" for Provincial Command of the Carabinieri of Agrigento at the "Biagio Pistone" Barracks (delivered in 2017, for the 203th anniversary of the Carabinieri Foundation).
