Renzo Pasquale

RENZO PASQUALE was born in Padua, Italy. Studied biology at the University of Padua, Faculty of Biological Sciences. An accidental encounter with gemologist Bruno Lucano takes him on a personal exploration tour of the stone and metal art. Geometric shapes, translucent ease of work, superb ability and skill to work with stones (such as rock crystal, granite, jasper…) impressed Professor Mario Pinton.

As the director of the Pietro Selvatico Institute in Padua, Mario invites Renzo to set up a stone-making art lab that could teach students these skills.

Renzo applies the laws of mathematics and biology and follows the path of science even in his most creative moments. The hands of this experienced stonework master make sophisticated and elegant shapes. Although purely geometric, they radiate the poetry of Italian poets.

The works of the jewellery artist Renzo Pasquale illustrate his characteristic synthesis of minimalism and poetry.From 1980 to1990 he participated with the Goldsmith Paduan group in many exhibitions in Europe, Japan, USA, Australia. From 2000 to now we worked together in the same workshop showing our works in several exhibitions in galleries and Museums. His works are part of important Museum Collections such as Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim, MAD Museum NY, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum Manhattan NY.
