Saturno Buttò was born in 1957 in Portogruaro (province of Venice). Between 1970 and 1980 he moved to Venice to attend The High School of Art and The Fine Arts Academy. The High School iniziated him into the classical drawing, whereas the vocational experiences at the Academy were mainly about non-traditional way of expressions.
After graduation his artistic personality was already strong, but he did not single out his own original style yet. So he decided to segregate himself in his studio to start an elaboration that would lead soon to a kind of unique painting, owing nothing to any past or contemporary artist, and being immediately recognizable in the current international outline as well.
The first exhibition was in 1993. The same year the first monographic catalogue "Ritratti da Saturno" came out. In 1999 another monograph book titled "Opere 1993 - 1999" was published; the last Saturno Buttò's book, "Martyrologium", has been published in 2007.
His exhibitions have been held in Europe and in United States.
