Art

Throughout his career, Biazzi has created works that appear to recover ideas and feelings which seem to be frozen in the past. As described by Portuguese anthropologist Nuno Branco, "He (Biazzi) goes further. He lets his mind wander through a number of variations…He is a Guaraní, he is a Tehuelche, he becomes a Mataco. No doubt his art is a process of becoming. The way he has found of becoming someone else, of generously forgetting about himself. The art of invocation: to invoke, to enchant, to seduce, to laugh together, united by an element of softness, are verbs featuring in his grammar and imagery, only deceptively naïve."
