Born in Venice in 1959. For Luigi Ballarin the “trip” was the biggest stimulus of his artistic production. He comes from linguistic studies and he’s self-taught in expressive painting. From visiting Europe at a young age, he acquired the art of the “errant painters” of the late 18th century.

It was around 1993 that Ballarin began the artistic adventure that would bring him to participate in showing his works around all of Italy, in galleries and art festivals. In 1996 a trip to Arabia was predestined to become a long stay, that would mark his artistic expressivity by deconstructing it positively. After this period a series of trips and exhibitions followed in various modern art galleries: Dubai, Sharjah International Biennal, Bahrain, Al Rwaq Gallery Manam, Kuwait, etc. Many works of this period can be found in private collections located in those cities.

From Venice he moved to Rome, opening a new studio. Here his artistic evolution would progress and evolve, reinterpreting itself into the chromatic contrasts of Islamic’s atmospheres, that brought him to have a higher expressive language that would be renewed in every one of his works.

In 2013 he organized his first personal exhibition in Istanbul Turkey.
