He is an historian artist of nude and Professor at the Balbo Academy of Bordighera.
Enzo Consiglio was born in Polistena (RC) in 1943, he was a pupil of the painter Giuseppe Balbo and he attended courses of nude in Monaco and Mentone.
From 1962 he participated in various group exhibitions in Italy and France and in 1990 he made his first solo exhibition to the Balbo Academy of Bordighera.
Provided with a deep photographic sensitivity in capturing views, isolating details of landscapes and seasides of the Ligurian Riviera, the art of the Consiglio is characterized by a specific pictorial language of gesture, simplifying the sign and the color drama.
This one and the volumes just sketchy are used by the artist to create illusory games of images and perspectives planes that project directly to the “visitor” in the context, sometimes provoking in him uneasiness.
The shaded figures projected onto backgrounds, almost translatable into "appearances", seem to be evidence of what is left in the time of memories and silences.
The artist expresses, as well, through his painting, the essence of things of life.
He founded with Bassani, Chiappalone and Venditti the Cultural circle called “Confine”.
He is in the Dictionary of Ligurian Artists published by De Ferrari.
