Gildo Bartocci was born in 1925 on Maggiore Island (Italy). Enlisted in the Italian navy, he arrived in Belgium in 1948 and enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels where he took classes with the sculptor Jacques Moeschal. From 1962, he collaborated with Olivier Strebelle, in particular for the sculpture of the Bayard horse in Namur where he created the ceramic elements.
Towards the mid-1960s, he became interested in monotype, which became his preferred medium in an abstract style approaching brutalism.
