About me: Sono nato il 14 maggio 1957, a Portogruaro - Venezia.
Sono un pittore e faccio ritratti.
Ho sempre cercato di divertirmi con la pittura.
Tuttora, assecondo la mia attitudine all’immagine per il piacere di crearla e, dopo, di guardarla.
Mi piace mescolare le cose…il sacro con il profano, per esempio.
Non mi è difficile mettere insieme vicende prettamente erotiche a pratiche più devozionali come figure in preghiera, mistici o martiri. Mi è sempre piaciuto sperimentare sia le potenzialità dello spirito sia quelle del corpo, con un’attenzione particolare per le situazioni “al limite”: figure capaci di scuotere pur mantenendo integro il loro potere di seduzione, in una miscela in grado di farci accettare, anche in casa, l’esibizione di radicati tabù.
Devo molto alla mia formazione scolastica, in particolare al Liceo Artistico e, in seguito, all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia.
Saturno è il mio nome di battesimo. Nell’antico settenario, il raggruppamento dei sette pianeti visibili compreso il sole, il simbolo di Saturno é raffigurato dalla croce degli elementi che sovrasta una falce lunare. Nelle mie opere affianco quasi sempre questo monogramma alla firma.
I was born in 1957, May 14th, in Portogruaro – Venice.
I am a painter and I create portraits.
I always went for some amusement through painting.
Still I uphold my flayr for portraits, for I enjoy so much creating and looking at them, then.
I love to mix things…Sacred and profane for example.
It is quite normal for me to put purely erotic situations together with examples of devotional observance, like praying figures, misycs or martyrs. I always enjoyed exploring the potential of mind and body, with a special interest in the “at the most” situations: figures able to shock while saving their power of seduction, in a kind of mix which makes you share, even at home, the performance of deep-rooted taboos.
I owe a lot to my school education, expecially to my High school of Arts and, then, to the Fine Arts Academy in Venice.
Saturno is my Christian name. In the ancient septenarius, i. e. the set of the visible planets including the sun, Saturn’s symbol is depicted by the cross of the elements dominating a moon crescent. In my works I almost always put his monogram aside the signature.

Pierre Pinoncelli, a French performance artist was arrested for striking Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain," with a hammer, at a Dada exhibition at the Pompidou Center in Paris.
The porcelain urinal was only slightly damaged. The artist, who back in 1993 also urinated into the same urinal and also struck it with a hammer at a show in Nîmes, France, has a long history of organizing destructivist "happenings"
He has claimed that his action was also a work of art, and in fact a tribute to Duchamp and other Dada artists who had made their name by challenging the very definition of art.
The Pompidou's "Fountain" is one of eight signed replicas made by Duchamp in 1964. The original fountain, a conceptual gesture, made in 1917, when first exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists in New York was rejected for being neither original nor art.
That version of the factory cast urinal, displayed by being flipped upside-down and signed R. Mutt, was subsequently lost. This recent attack by Pinoncelli will ignite more debate around the question as to "What is art?"
In 1993 Pinoncelli was jailed for one month and fined approximately $37,500 for urinating in Duchamp's "Fountain" in the Carré des Arts in Nîmes. He later said he wanted "to rescue the work from its inflated iconic status and return it to its original function as a urinal"
