The interiors artist unveils his creative haven in Dubai Design District (d3)
Gio Bressana’s new studio not only showcases his extraordinary talent but also introduces a ‘design story’ service that blends the timeless art of frescoes with contemporary furniture design. “My studio in Dubai is a little treasure chest,” he says. The space is a harmonious blend of art and design, featuring elements like frescoes, furniture and marble, all unified by a garden theme. “I aim to provide my clients with a dream and a unique, unrepeatable experience,” Bressana explains.
Every detail in the studio, from the green onyx and brass floor to the magnolia lamp and rock crystal coffee table, is meticulously designed to be part of the immersive environment. “The guest becomes an integral part of it,” he emphasises, highlighting his belief that every space should be interwoven with the art itself. Gio Bressana’s art draws from historical periods such as the Renaissance, Gothic and Baroque, yet it remains distinctly contemporary. “I take the best elements from these periods and harmoniously combine them with modernism to create my own uniqueness,” he explains. This balance of old and new is what sets his work apart, resulting in spaces that are both timeless and current.

“My art is based on ancient teachings, both in terms of technique and objective canons of beauty,” Bressana explains. Each fresco, painted directly onto walls without preliminary sketches, becomes an irreplaceable piece of art. “There is little room for mistakes, making each painting one-of-a-kind and incredibly precious,” he adds. With a focus on the enduring beauty of ancient fresco techniques, Bressana’s mission is to blend the venerable techniques of Italian art with contemporary aesthetics. “Every era brings great innovations, and we must be open to everything that our talent and creativity can offer in the era we live in,” he says. This philosophy has earned him the reputation of creating work that is “modernly ancient and anciently modern.”
