Biography

Giovanni Dalessi is a Dutch painter, from a Dutch family with an Italian background. After an education in Graphic Design he studied at The Royal Academy for Visual Art in

’s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands and graduated in 1991.

He has had many exhibitions in The Netherlands and abroad. He showed his work in famous Dutch galleries as The Living Room, Amsterdam and Flatland Gallery, Utrecht. His work was represented on international art fairs in Amsterdam, Milan, Bologna, Londen, Paris, Cologne and Basel. In 2013 he was elected as Dutch Artist of The Year.

During the spring of 2014 Dalessi worked three months at The European Ceramic Art Center in 's-Hertogenbosch where he started searching to express himself in a three-dimensional way. His most well-known activity is oil painting and watercolour, but Dalessi makes also prints,

photographs, sculpture and ceramics. His work is represented in museum collections and private collections all over the world.
