Of Venetian origin, Giacomo de Pass was born in Morocco on 10 November 1938.

His early notable and noted works date from 1958 when he was only 20 years old. A painter impossible to classify, whose range of styles is disconcerting. The slightest upset in his life is reflected in his creation, which explains the diversity of his works that extend from impressionism to expressionism, through fantastic surrealism; from fauvism to symbolism and beyond to the limits of abstraction.

Of this period, the artist says that to be drawn to beauty and to be a slave to fashionable trends, are creation’s worst enemies.

Currently, Giacomo de Pass, with nine other recognized artists, is customizing one of the ten giant statues that adorn the hall of the Palm Beach Casino at Cannes which is to be rebuilt. Their works will be exhibited before being sold by auction in the near future.
