Interview 100%design with Marco Giollo:
- tell us a bit about yourselves? Who are you, where are you based, what sort of things do you do?
My name is Marco Giollo and I am based in Schoenenbuch near Basel and I am an artist.
I paint with acrylics and mixed media on canvas. I do figurative and abstract art and also Art on commission.
- how did you get to be involved in this project?
I was invited by Diana Lagalante to show the world what an artist can do with the Xymara Effect Pigments and their versatile manner - including art. I think art meets design more and more these days.
- explain the brief that you were given?
I been given the Xymara pigments to use, play with and experiment for use in my art.

- what is the biggest challenge in this project?
The biggest challenge in this project is to paint to combine both the industry with art. I never know the direction and never know the outcome, until I find style and beauty in my work.
- Describe what you are planning for the installation?
I will exhibit 4 paintings of 100 x 100 inside the Theatre, which will give great exposure to the concept of working with Ciba Xymara pigments,
plus 9 paintings 30 x 30 do be given to the 9 nominated winners of the Xymara Design Award 2008.
- what makes working with Ciba Xymara products interesting/exciting?
Never saw before such light effects by using these pigments. Plus the appearance of surface changes, looking at it from different angles. It is unique and makes it very alive.
