Filippo Giusti
Born in Livorno, Italy in 1990. His artistic practice began in Italy through the performing arts and photography. His path as a painter began unexpectedly in Mexico 2018—a transition that opened a new chapter of creative exploration.
Entirely self-taught, Filippo built his artistic foundation through online courses, YouTube tutorials, and a relentless personal discipline. Today, he is known for his unique style of portraits that explore empathy, diversity, and human encounters.
His work has been presented in museums, public institutions, and international art initiatives across Mexico, Europe, and the United States.
Among the highlights of his career are his participation in Art for Tomorrow during the Venice Biennale; solo exhibitions at the Museum of Art of Querétaro; Club de Industriales, Mexico City, in dialogue with Rufino Tamayo's mural Energía; the Historic Senate of Mexico during Mexico City Art Week; City Hall, Playa del Carmen; and MUNI Museum, SLP.
His work is defined by an approach he calls “Essentialism.”
At the core of his artistic vision lies an invitation to transcend immediate judgments based solely on appearances, instead encouraging deep reflection and the cultivation of empathy.
Before he begins to paint, Giusti engages in conversation — he listens, observes, and dialogues with his models in order to translate their stories and the human encounter into a language of abstraction.
He is also an international speaker, having been invited to share his vision with organizations such as TEDx, EO (Entrepreneurs' Organization), Actinver Bank, and FOROGO.
