As much as the people, who visit the region of the Provence, are conscious of its unique light and beauty, no one could better interpret this area than the native. This explains the in-depth observation and comprehension noted in the work of Raymond Gizzi, a stylistic Provençal painter of today.

Born on April 16, 1947, Raymond Gizzi was raised by his Parisian mother and Roman father in his native Provence in France, where he learned to appreciate the lights and colors of this region before discovering the art of painting.

After different professional experiences full of enrichments as well as endless hours of self-discipline, Gizzi discovered his real goal and above all a real way to express his sensibility.

In 1985 he participated in his first exhibition at the "Relais Culturel des Saintes Maries de la Mer." Encouraged by the shows success, he decided to devote himself entirely to the art of painting. Since then he has participated in exhibitions throughout the Provence including Les Baux de Provence, Aigures Mortes, Aix en Provence, Bandol, Saint Paul de Vence, and Montpellier.

Gizzi has exhibited in several galleries shows in France. His work can also be found in many private collections in Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Berlin, Brussels, Geneva, London, Sidney, Tokyo, Washington, New York, and Los Angeles.

Since 1991 he has settled in his open-door studio where his career continues to flourish and gain fame.
