Pietro Crivelli graduated at the Fine Arts Academy of Florence in 1974. In 1977 he had his first international exhibitions, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and in New York City.
In 1977 he left Italy for Asia and India for four years, relocated to Sicily in 1981-1982. Between 1982 and 1995 he was in the USA (California, Colorado, and Seattle, Washington), where he was active both as a painter and a decorator.
He then moved to Bali, where he continued his activity as an artist, painting also in India and Indonesia.
In 2010 he relocated back to Italy, moving in an area not far from Florence, his home town, but completely new for him: the Farma Valley, in the hills and off the beaten track, about 40 km South of Siena.
Here he continues is activities, combining his experiences, extremely varied and from different continents with the interaction with a local environment which maintains a very strong legacy with nature and with the history of Tuscany.
Being a fully-fledged artist, Pietro also has a consolidated track record as a musician and an entertainer: in 1971 he was one of the founding members of Whisky Trail, the first band in Italy to propose Irish folk music. He then left the group when he started his international travels, but was always active as a guitarist and bass player, with strong ties to folk, country music, blues and Afro-American spirituals.
Pietro will create original paintings, reproductions, trompe l’oeil and decorations using different techniques and in all sizes.
