ARTIST BIO

Piero Clemente Garreffa

Piero is a first-generation Italian artist based in Fitzroy, Melbourne. His practice revitalises and celebrates Italian / Calabrian legacies, drawing inspiration from Italian graphics, decorative arts, ephemera, and religious icons. His deep appreciation for Calabrian culture was nurtured by his upbringing at his family’s vineyard in Mildura, as well as days spent at his Nonna and Nonno’s house, and experiences living in Italy during his formative years. His diverse body of work explores his profound connection to Italian and Calabrian heritage, focusing on themes of identity and nostalgia. 

Some of Piero's major achievements include being a finalist in the Paul Guest Arts Prize at Bendigo Art Gallery in 2018, completing his Master of Fine Art at RMIT in 2021, and most recently, being selected as a finalist in the Pro Hart Outback Arts Prize. His artwork is held in esteemed public collections, and he has showcased his talent in numerous group and solo exhibitions
