Giulio Masieri was born in 1972 in Ferrara, Italy, and in his early twenties began producing mural paintings on private homes and public buildings, with early works characterized by realistic depictions of architectural structures in surreal settings. 

 Always interested in classical perspective studies, in 1999 he specialized in perspective-illusion techniques by painting a Baroque style decoration in a Moscow palace, which sparked a deeper engagement with classical art. 

 Between 2000 and 2001 he was invited to Tokyo to work on buildings in the Italian eighteenth-century style, where he notably honed his skills in painted architectural decoration. 

 From there he expanded to work in Paris, London, Aqbar, and undertook ambitious projects in Italy, Belgium, France, Kazakhstan and Crimea. 

 During the 2020 lockdown he painted what became the first of his “giant animals” series—a mural of a giant cat on his home building in Torre (Pordenone)—which made him known not only locally but across the internet. 

 These giant animals murals led to many commissions across Pordenone and elsewhere in Italy such as Padua, Caorle, and Milan, turning his art into a form of urban regeneration. 

 He documents this journey in a book, Animali Giganti, la storia di una pacifica invasione, tracing his work since 2020 and reflecting on how these pieces reconnect people with their neighborhoods. 

 Throughout, Masieri’s work explores the relationship between nature and urban environment, human-animal connection, and how art in public spaces can bring beauty, provoke thought, and reshape city perception.
