He was an Italian Expressionist painter and sculptor born on January 10, 1926 in Coni (Piemont) and died in Nice, France on June 24, 2000. His classical art formation was at the Academia Albertina in Turino, Italy. 

His works are numerous and well-known. It is precisely during the 1970s that Bernard Damiano's painting is said to have moved away from a relationship with Jean Dubuffet, the Art brut or the Cobra movement, in "a nervous touch and a triturated paste" to draw his style from the rest of Expressionism. This proposal is however stated with reserve: like the Spanish Eduardo Pisano, Bernard never dated his works, often repeating and retouching the same painting for several years. It is perhaps in the use of the "line-color and the blaze of bright flesh on dark backgrounds" that a break is detectable. Bernard Damiano remains globally today considered as "a precursor and a marginal" in that at his place "the sacred and the morbid merge into a kind of wild obsession".

This pastel colored, nude figurative painting by Bernard Damiano would enhance any MCM or contemporary setting.
