Davide Coltro
Davide Coltro was born in Verona in 1967. He counts several participations to significant group shows. He took part to the XIV Venice Quadrennial in 2004 and in the same year a wide public selected him for the final of the Cairo Award.
In 2006 he was invited to the “Nature and Metamorphosis” international show in Beijing and Shangai in the scope of the Minister for Foreign Affairs’ activity in China. His “System” has been purchased both by Palazzo Forti, which placed it in its permanent collection, and by the Unicredit Bank Group as artistic heritage.
In April 2007 the CIMAC (Civico Museo Arte Contemporanea) in Milan purchased another piece thus decreeing the beginning of the public institutions’ interest in the “System” project.
He lives and works in Milan.
