Italian artist Walter Girotto is the author of beautiful paintings dedicated to women. His works can be described as erotic fantasies filled with hidden meaning. It seems that the master’s focus is on the beautiful female body, but in fact the ideas in Girotto’s paintings are much deeper and concern philosophical issues. (Warning! Nudity).

Walter Girotto was born in 1953 in the small town of Rovigo, in the region of Venice. When he was still a child, his family was forced to move to Turin in search of work.

Girotto began drawing at the age of 4. He says his first full-time piece of work was a picture of a whale drawn in kindergarten. Afterwards, Walter never stopped his experiments with painting and achieved success.

The artist’s first serious exhibition was Art Expo 1985 in New York. The unexpected happened there - all of Girotto’s paintings were sold within 20 minutes after the opening of the exhibition. He even had to apologize to the guests for bringing so few works with him.

A more than successful debut in New York made Girotto a permanent participant at Art Expo. But in 1987 he met art agent Robert Bain, who significantly expanded the geography of his exhibitions. In 1988, the artist’s paintings appeared in the Tamara Bain Gallery in Los Angeles, where they had an equally stunning success with the public.
