Francesco Pinton is as destined to sculpt as the seed is destined to bud, the fertile earth which has taken life like the artistic vocation of Pinton is the belief in the light of divinity and religious symbols that flutter from millennia on the paths of human civilization in the universe. Having an innate sense of movement and a sensibility animated by strong cultural resources, Francis Pinton creates high-level modeled sculpture, his technique situated between classical style and the synthesis of the modern idea of movement. The artist uses the questionable nature of the subject through the poetic flexibility of the articulated forms in the space.

The spiritual flow of his mobile vision forces the material (in our case the supple and elastic substance, earth converted by fire,) in the fragile nobility of the porcelain, that give the religious symbol form and elegance.

A thin alchemy moves inside this creative flow producing works that almost always surpass the limit of the narrow commercial or amateur interest. The seriousness of the artist's work sterns from his creative impulse, inspired from the representative allegories of Christianity: The image of Saint Francesco of Assisi, the Madonna with Child, the Crucifixion, the Nativity.... The sculptor is encouraged by his modeled material that moves in the space of the imaginary lines that take the form of the spiritual fluid, devoted and inspired from the religious man, but not mystical, from the original flexible composition as a perfect and intelligible vision "in the spirit of the Christian dogma," but also modern, through the type of sensibility and concentration of the changeable expressiveness that he promotes in his works. Francesco Pinton, an artist of sincere and elegant communication, who one day, in the beginning of the Venetian spring, I met, suffering, with the humility of modesty, among the torments of a carnival world like the brittleness of his porcelains.
