Piero Rasero, born in Turin in 1947, is a country figurist realist painter. He lives in Carmagnola (Turin), Italy.
He prefers oil painting, but also works in "thin oils" (an old technique from the beginning of the century, where the colours are diluted with thinner paint in order to give an effect similar to watercolours), lithographs and serigraphics. 
Some of his paintings have  also been reproduced into six posters and distributed internationally.

During about 40  years as an artist he has had shows all over Italy and in Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Monaco Monte Carlo, the United Kingdom, the U.S.A. and the Arab Emirates.
His work has been presented in numerous collections and museums all over the world, and in hundreds of publications. 
He has also been mentioned by critics and writers in newspapers, magazines and on television. 

Art critic Sara Merlino writes: "Rasero's picture is full of the Mediterranean. He uses hot lights and a dazzling sun full of colors on one part of his painting and leaves shadows on another, to create a clean contrast.
Piero Rasero recounts every hidden and intimate secret of nature, treating each bush, each leaf, each petal as a micro-cosm. They are shreds of truth that perhaps hide a thin and imperceptible melancholy".

On Piero Rasero's life, the italian documentarist Stefano Scarafia has produced a short  documentary called "Visioni d'Artista", recently shown on Arte&Arte Channel during the tv-show "Le scelte di Diprè" with the italian famous art critic Andrea Diprè.
