Balzi
thinks that there are more painters coming up everyday and
less people who really understand about art, and it is necessary
that the artist himself dedicates some of his time to explain
to the public the new codes,unless he doesn't want to remain
even more isolated.
From
l977 to l983 he teached Design and Art History at the Liceu
Scientifico Italiano of Barcelona,Spain and from l987, back
to Brazil he alternates his pictorial work with courses
and conferencess ministered in private and public organizations.
As
every year, he also ministers in his own studio an Art History
course to a very special public who is far more interested
in knowing the essential characteristics of each period,
school or movement, directly from the artist. The course
is illustrated with plenty of slides many of which realized
by Balzi himself (with exclusive images, never shown on
books before).He also uses musical and literary references
(his sister is Beatriz Balzi, a well-known piano concertist).
What
concerns to painting especifically, besides the workshop
"Meninos de Arte"Balzi teaches young painters willing to
perfeccionate their style helping everyone with plastic
sensibility to find their personality. "Drawing is the original
language of the human being", he says.
