"Tista Meschi was born in lucca in 1934. He studied at the lucchese art
insitute, and afterwards, attended a three year course of advertising
graphics in rome, where he began his activity as an artist. He then
worked in florence as a graphic and in the sixties began to teach art
at the art institute of Bari. His long stay in puglia with its beautiful
landscapes, greatly influenced the development of his paintings
when he then definitely returned to Lucca, he carried on his
successfull carrier as a teacher and above all, as an artist.
His first "personal" painting was carried out in bari in '96 and
followed by numerous others all over italy, along with several
exhibitions and awards.
Tista Meschi has a complete mastery of several techniques but his
favourite is water-colour, which allows transparency, lightness,
even where the colour thickens, and that mostly corresponds to his
lyrical intent. The huge technical skill, forms the substratum of his
expression. His pieces are like a sonnet, briefly concluded, without
rhetoric. Tista is not, fortunately for us and for himself, an artist
that screams, that proclaims; reserved as he is, he quietly expresses
his vision of the world, allowing the audience to listen to him and
understand him."
