It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Guido Baragli. Guido was born on Christmas Day 1962, in Palermo, Sicily. He studied at the Academy of Fine Art, Palermo, where he attained a Master of Painting Degree. Having first encountered Guido’s work in a private collection in Sicily, we were immediately impressed.

His paintings, although of unusual proportion, were totally in harmony and perspective, truly the mark of a unique and gifted artist. Furthermore the spectrum and intensity of colours only added to the ‘wow’ factor we experienced. Throughout his professional career in art, Guido’s work has been influenced by Giotto, Antonello da Messina, Casorati and the classic Italian Masters. The Artist’s work is to be found in many private and corporate collections and, significantly, in the Museum of Modern Art, Palermo.
