Biography
Born in Florence in 1926, Boni
studied at the "Liceo Artistico" in Florence and has lived
in Paris since 1954. Boni is both a painter, sculptor and printmaker.
He creates relief prints or metal reliefs, as well as sculptures
in collaboration with architects for the Renault Automobile Factory
and others.
"Boni today, creates large compositions of dramatic character
based on a contrast of full and empty, exact and blurred, shadow
and light. These works are a testimony to his inexhaustible imagination."
(Herta Wescher)

Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Canada and the United States, including
Musée Picasso, Antibes; Galleria Ciranna, Milan; Galerie
