my ASCENDANT is CAPRICORN:
THE MAIN FEATURES resembles my character, to better understand who I am, where I go, what I want.............
Those with Capricorn as their Ascendant can be very reserved and shy and do not like to express their emotions. Apparently he always seems controlled, never prey to instincts or impulsive desires, thanks precisely to his closure with others. The Capricorn ascendant pushes these natives to occupy a prominent place in society and, regardless of their social class of origin, to associate with important people and take advantage of these relationships for possible advantages. However, they are not opportunistic individuals; indeed in friendships they are loyal and generous. In love they ask a lot from the loved one, devotion, loyalty, passion. For those with Capricorn ascendant, love is a particularly important feeling, to be analyzed in depth, and even coexistence with the loved one requires respect, seriousness and continuous dedication, so that it does not turn into a worn-out relationship. At work he works with all his strength to be the best and to achieve the desired goals.

What does it mean to not be compatible?

no one can steal what you are,
I was born in Italy,
I am an expatriate, because in Italy everyone takes advantage of your person, a people who in the majority are lying, illiterate, mafia, corrupt thieves, where justice is only in the name of money.
They can copy you, they can imitate you, but my being, my soul, my values, are unique, because I am a unique being
Today I am at peace because I have lived in Australia for over twenty years where they welcomed me with love and trust.
I followed their rules
I learned to be a dignified Australian citizen,
has to respect others,
to love others,
Thanks Australia
the good of art is not a good like the others, it has no other practical use than that of a truly good dimension for man.

being a painter and a commentator
Not only is it a disinterested pleasure but, first and foremost, this good consists in knowing how to see what is not immediately visible
and cannot be known immediately,
which means knowing how to recognize the truth where it is missing.
The good of art is public because it is essentially useless,
visionary and at the same time real and exposed elsewhere than the idea of art or reality

.about me from a review by a Brisbane gallery owner,
“Girolamo's paintings have been exhibited in Miami, Madrid, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and 2005 in Brisbane, Australia. He never had a solo show because he wasn't ready. His paintings, oil on canvas, deal with the delicate observation of nuanced drama and subtle symbolism. Ironic, surreal, metaphysical... suggestive to look at
Each painting is the expression of a charged, often ambiguous, often problematic moment that always refuses to submit to commercialization. The result is layer after layer of blended oil paints, expertly and meticulously applied, creating an image with depth and theatricality that elevates it to a photorealistic reference painting... it's extraordinary. Girolamo grew up as an architect designer with experience in the world of advertising, in Australia where he took refuge around 2000, he found the land of origin he was looking for, and he invested all his savings, to become an Australian citizen, happy to live a new life with his Aboriginal brothers, having socially withdrawn from the hectic life of being, today sometimes paints for the community that welcomes him. He now lives in Melbourne.``
Contemporary art is good not only because those who buy it are satisfied with their investment choice or from an aesthetic and sentimental point of view, but because it makes them feel part of a unique and at the same time fruitful sensitivity.
The work of art is always what makes the world, it restores its meaning, its history, even in the present, in the horizons of worlds, and in the very impossibility that becomes possible. It is this openness of meaning that makes good inseparable from beauty.
There is enough evil, hatred, violence and absurdity in the average human being to supply any army any day
And the best killers are those who preach life, And the best at hate are those who preach love. And the best at war - in the end - are those who preach peace
He who preaches God needs God. He who preaches peace has no peace. He who preaches love has no love
Beware of preachers Beware of wise men Beware of those who always read books Beware of those who hate poverty or are proud of it. Beware of those who are always ready to praise because they need praise. Beware of those who are ready to censor: he is afraid of what he doesn't know. Beware of those who continually scan the crowd: they are alone with no one Beware of common men, beware of common women Beware of their love Theirs is a common love that aims for mediocrity But there is genius in their hatred There is enough genius in their hatred to kill you To kill someone Does not want loneliness Does not conceive of loneliness will try to destroy everything different from himself Not being able to create art he will not understand art As creators, he will only see his failure as the failure of the whole world Not being able to love they will fully consider your love incomplete
And then they will hate you And their hatred will be perfect Like a shining diamond Like a knife Like a mountain Like a tiger Like hemlock Their most beautiful art" Girolamo Toscano architect

my presentation for those who want to know me
HI! My name is Gio
and I live in the beautiful city of Melbourne, Australia. My love for art has been a constant in my life, since my school days, when I enthusiastically enrolled in numerous art courses. In recent years I have rekindled my passion for oil painting and honed my skills thanks to the guidance of international artists who helped me perfect my art. I have always had a deep affection for helping others, my true artistic vocation lies in recreating realistic representations of emotions in everyday life.
Giving back is essential for me, I often donate the proceeds of my work to support the extraordinary work they do with organizations that help the elderly non-profit organizations.
Every year, I am happy to offer my art to all those in need
a moving initiative dedicated to group therapy. In the spirit of continuous support for well-being in life.
Beyond my artistic talent, I have had a fulfilling career as a teacher around the world, today I can share my knowledge and help people learn drawing as group therapy. Teaching and helping others live better is a passion that integrates my artistic endeavors.
Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary journey where art, people, and education intertwine to create a truly meaningful life.
