Serge Brignoni

Serge Brignoni was a Swiss painter, illustrator, and set designer. He studied at the École des Arts Industriels in Geneva and later at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

He also designed sets and costumes for the theatre, working with renowned directors such as Jean-Louis Barrault and Roger Planchon.

Brignoni's work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in Switzerland, France, and other countries. He received several awards and honors throughout his career, including the Grand Prix de Rome in 1931. Brignoni died in 2002 at the age of 99, leaving behind a legacy of colorful and expressive paintings, illustrations, and designs.
